The Last U.S. President To Close, Nationalize, Or Let Die... A Major U.S. Corporation Was...

[WillyT]

George W. Bush ???

Lehman Bros.



:wtf:

:puke:

1. Yep.

The current President kept the Auto Company from going under instead.

4. And Hell Yeah I'll Take The Auto Companies Before The Wall Street Masters Of The Universe...

That's the fucking problem.

Most conservatives would have cut General Motors loose, yet made sure the Right To Work states in the South, where Toyota and Honda have major pull, were fully protected.

I wanted GM to be bailed...

Goldman Sachs, AIG, etc... Not so much.

:shrug:

7. Bailing them out was the easy way to go. They all should have had to own their failures.

2. That was a mistake

As much as I hate having to save corporate America's ass from itself, when they are too big to fail, failure hurts us all. Lehman's was too big and was the final domino to shred the economy. Sure the economy would have still have been a basket case, just significantly less of a basket case if Lehman's was saved.

I'm with the "too big to fail, too big to exist crowd". Regulate the bastards down to size!

3. And Enron, which also took down a major accounting firm.

5. Not just Lehmans.......

The ugliness of the situation makes us unable to look at it for more than a few moments......


....sigh....
