Sounds great, except that the alternative decision not to bail would have likely led to another Great Depression. And do remember GWB started the rescue Obama continued, this was a rare bipartisan government action, though the GOP likes to whitewash that, like most pesky facts. The bailout should have, and did come with a pile of regulation (not enough), which of course is now being dismantled. But they should not have been able to buy T-bills with the zero interest loans from the Fed. That was simply stealing taxpayer money.
