    I don’t understand why “too big to fail” is also “too big to be broken up.” We broke up what was once literally the only company you could use if you wanted to use a telephone and it seems to have worked out.

      What was once a politically reasonable and feasible course of action is now communism. Fox News now thinks for 30% of the country.

        And you know the craziest part? The plan to break up the Bell monopoly was created under Ford’s DOJ and implemented under Reagan.

        So even they were in favor of breaking up “too big to fail” companies.

      If the government is giving any money to these assholes it should be from buying all their stock at fire sale prices using money from fines paid by the CEOs and board of directors.
