We did. We put in many worthless regulations that really didn’t solve the problem.
I’m a connective republican. Socially more liberal but fiscally conservative.
The executives of the banks that needed bailouts should have been jailed as they took risk they shouldn’t have taken. All the banks do it because there are no consequences when they fail. Zero.
They need to punished for mishandling assets so poorly.
That would have been a horrible idea. For all intents that what they did with the bailouts. We don’t need the government to own banks.
Let them fail and others will but them up. We don’t need the tax payers assuming trillions in bad loans.
we don’t have national federally owned banks available to the public, or at least any that I’m aware of.

Exactly nor should we. Nationalizing banks is a stupid idea.
Let them fail. That’s how capitalism works.
So your idea is just pray for some rich people to buy the assets and not let the bank’s customers without all their money?
What if this pray for the rich saviors is not answered? Any plan b? Maybe make this buying a law?
Customers wouldn’t be without money. It’s insured.
Instead we used tax payer money to prop them up and didn’t solve the problem.
You have to let things fail.
