Another day, another bailout.

When is the government going to stop bailing out companies that are in trouble because of bad decisions.  They say we can't afford to let them fail, but why not?

Are you totally sure we shouldn't bail them out?  What can you base that on? What if we were to end up in another depression?

[denise]

Are you sure we can't?  What are we going to do, bail out every large business that gets in trouble?  Most of them are in trouble because they are mismanaged.  That is just poor business.

I agree that number of bailouts is pretty ridiculous.  I don't know whether we should let them go under, but how about condition that they get new management in order to get the money.
