People need to be lined up against a wall for this. This and the 2008 bailouts should prove that (((Wall Street))) get to have their cake and eat it too, profiting off of risky investments without ever having to face the consequences of risk. Free markets when they're profiting, intervention when they're losing or, God forbid, the goyim are profiting at their expense for a change.
