>>Yes, I recall that, although I also recall that not every bank took the money, and some have paid it back. I rather doubt the democrats are going to satisfy themselves with attacking just some of the banks.
There were also banks that were arm-twisted to take the money. The government didn’t want the specter of people flocking to banks that didn’t take bailout money, since they would be perceived as stronger, so they arm-twisted all the bigger banks to take it.
Government control of business via regulatory fiat was a staple of Fascism. If you haven’t read Liberal Fascism, you should.
I haven't read it although I've heard of it...Levin, right? I am familiar with it being a liberal fascism staple...as I recall, it's how Nazi Germany handled it as well.
