And is the point most on FR refuse to admit. The biggest welfare recipients in recent years are banks and companies.

GM should have been allowed to fail. The banks should have been allowed to fail. Just as I am allowed to fail. There is now a system where once you get to a certain level, the Fedgov will protect you from competition and make sure your losses are paid by the tax payers, and your profits are allowed to go private.

This is not a free market system we are living in. Hasn't been for a long, long time.

I do agree...that GM should have been allowed to go BK...but you and I know..that was a pay-off to the unions.
