Probably because they don't see financial collapse and widespread deprivation as a solution to the problem.
So, let me run this by you: The gubmint greases the skids for the sale to say, Citi, with the regulators etc. on-site during negotiations to do the deal quick. However, if the gubmint wasn’t involved, Citi would do a slow negotiation waltz while the firm imploded.
“Probably because they don’t see financial collapse and widespread deprivation as a solution to the problem.”
Yes, the government always knows how to pick the best solution to the problem.
If you think that government-based/brokered/sponsored solutions will stop a financial collapse brought on by failed government policy over many years, then you are much more of an optimist than I.
This intervention will only make it worse. The reaper cometh and even the Fed and Treasury can’t stop it.
