One thing is missing... Government forcing Heidi to give the drunks beer, which they cannot pay.

Don’t be so hard on the Government. They let Heidi bundle up her bad tabs and sell them all over the world at ever infalting prices. So much so that Heidi started dragging drunks in off the street, even when she new they’d never be able to pay.

Oh, and the genius at the bank who dreamed up the scheme? He got a nice big bonus from the taxpayer bailout money.

Don’t forget the nice fat payments the banks made so the politicians would look the other way.

That doesn't quite work, though you could say alcohol salesmen did it.

She would have had “cocktail brokers” working the street.

It’s layer upon layer, really. At almost every level a whole bunch of people made a ton of money, and stuck us with the fallout. So it goes.

Then all the young coked up dudes on Wall Street will write credit default swaps on those securitized bar tabs

I use alcohol in order to stop understanding what's going on, if only for a few hours.
