Could you imagine what would have happened to our economy if our elected officials had, instead of bailing out the banks, bailed out its citizens instead? What might have occurred if our politicians had actually done their jobs and regulated banks (entities that are not human and therefore should not have the citizenship granted to humans), locked up bankers who swindled people out of money and pension, and simply given bailout money to citizens instead?
Honestly, I don’t know, and you don’t either, so let’s not argue about it.
