Why did the heads of the biggest,private investment banks have to go hat in hand to the US Gov treasury dept and Fed to get bailed out?
actually it was the govt that proped them up b.c they didnt want them to fail...
some regulation is a good thing it presents an equal playing field and helps prevent obvious unwanted actions. The problem is that by doing so they generally promote MANY MANY more unwanted actions.
Glass Steagal being repealed was a major step in the cause of the melt down...guess who did that? the govt
also I dont see how you can equate the entire private sector to one industry within it, please explain that logic to us?
