You can’t sue America. We need headline control more than gun control.

By the way, we have no real idea what went on behind closed doors when the government pretended the sky was falling in 08. This bailout wasn’t TARP, right? Which wasn’t very clear on terms, either, and I think majirly shifted focus a few dozen times after the law which no one actually teas was passed. But the direct Fed bailouts were even nuttier. Remember when Paulson and Bernanke were literally threatening martial law?

Should’ve tarred and feathered them instead of occupying Wall Street.

No we don't, but what I'm sure of is that a lot of corruption was involved. AIG paid billions in insurance to foreign banks for credit swaps. AIG received taxpayer money and by law, Treasury/taxpayers can never be subordinated, but we were.
