Evidently your not a conservative or you wouldn’t be bashing Bain Capital! There is no guaranteed outcome to any business venture. What Bain did was do a service for some companies and saved them. Some companies couldn’t be saved. You go in put up Capital take some risk downsize the company and hopefully they survive. Sometimes they don’t. Sometimes people get hurt. Kinda like Solyndra except they didn’t use taxpayer money. They used theirs or other Capitalist money.

Bain socialized their losses by taking advantage of government bailouts, pension insurance funds, banks absorbing losses through bankruptcies, etc. Try to find me one example where a company Bain took over went bankrupt and Bain actually lost money on it. So far the stories coming out have shown that Bain gamed the system to make a profit on the backs of other people no matter what happened. For example, they kept the money for themselves instead of putting it into a guaranteed pension fund and a government agency then had to bail out that pension fund.
