I was against the bailouts then and I wish they had never happened. I'd be perfectly happy to put myself out of a job in finance forever if it meant that once and for all the government would stop meddling with shit and giving people guarantees. Let the fuckers fail. Let the world go to hell in the short term. The financial system that would arise from the short term chaos would correctly price risk rather than take any risk available because Uncle Sam is always there to bail you out.
