    This is exactly how capitalism is supposed to work. Instead of using taxpayer money to sustain inefficient, ineffective and incompetent institutions we need to let them fail.

    Better managed firms will step in to meet the demand and the industry becomes stronger as a result. The bailouts actually made our financial system weaker.

    The Bush and Obama bailouts were simple acts of cowardice.
