>we handed out $6 trillion over the last decade to banks and corporations
Why is this kind of blatant theft allowed? Greedy bastards.
We ought to just take the money back that the fed handed these assholes and use it to balance the budget.

What are you referring to, exactly? The bailouts? QE? Subsidies?
>>1103050
I'm sure he is referring to all of those, and more on the general idea of artificially propping up the financial system from natural collapse

>blah blah blah $6 trillion
They were loans and almost all of them were paid back without issue.

>the US economy should have literally been destroyed because my ideals say so.
That's retarded. If you can ease the landing, why wouldn't you do it? The idea that there's "natural" and "artificial" in this situation is also retarded considering we'd never have had to bail out the banks if we had kept them "artificially" limited from getting to big to fail like we used to.
Are you unaware that these loans were paid back?
>>1103092
This.
The government loaning me $100 million isn't much good to me if they want it all back in 5 - 10 years.
During all that 2008 stuff, nobody got just "free" money. They were loans.
