Taxpayers are on the line for trillions of dollars with socialized risk and yet there are people on this thread regurgitating the same old anti-government anti-regulatory line without any irony. How can you roll back regulations without resolving fundamental questions about risk and 'too big to fail'. With citizens like this who needs oligarchs.
These are the same anti-government folks who will whine endlessly about social services as 'handouts' and 'freebies' and look the other way while trillions go to subsidize the rich and powerful. This is ideology.
Either you believe in democracy or you do not. In a democracy the government is you, not an organization out to get you. Regulations exist to protect the whole from the greed of a few.
This mythical anti-government civilization full of freedom only works in a farming based frontier society that has occupied land and can give parts of it away for free to all new comers, where any government can only take away rights. But that time is long gone.
