“Capitalism had clearly failed in 2009”
#####################
Hopefully you wrote this as sarcasm, because nothing could be more wrong.
What failed was Liberal politicians (Bush, Pelosi, Reid, & Co), likely by design (Cloward-Piven), overheated the banking/mortgage sector by forcing banks to make loans to homebuyers who had no objective means of paying them back.
“Capitalism” had nothing to do with that. A state-run centrally planned economy had everything to do with that.
Of course it failed. It relies on a substance created from nothingness. How could it not fail?
