Perfect assessment. I was at a meeting with a bunch of Denver developers in 2009. They were all very rich and usually mostly conservative.
They were arguing with me that the government would need to bail out the commercial loans next. I was pissed. These are people who clawed their way to the top and now they want to be protected. I made no friends that night.
