It’s the same old story. Why do people rob banks? Because “that’s where the money is.”
Now, of course, it’s just the method that has changed. They don’t use guns, and they don’t get punished. The banksters today are inside the gates. They use the excuse that they’re just too big to fail. Remember?
This is how it works now.
The government bailed out the banks last time around. That was controversial, but bipartisan and, at the time, they told us in bipartisan fashion that they were “saving capitalism.” But they were actually playing a different game. It all basically started for real in 2009.
They got to “privatize their gains, while socializing their risks,” as Tucker Carlson noted Monday night. They got a lot richer this way and totally avoided the risks of the traditional bank robbers. When things went well, they got rich. When things went not so well, they still got rich.
