<<As for govt bailing out banks and vice versa, its been going for hundreds of years, all the way back to the Hapsburgs and Charles V and longer, and in this country, back to the financial panic of 1907, which led to the creation of the Federal Reserve.>>

Did we all profit from the bailout of Mexico some years ago?
Our good Dr. Greenspan is fond of the term "constructive destruction" when some get wiped out & sees "systemic risk" when others are bailed out. When the steel workers attempt a protection from subsidized imports, Greenspan and others decry Protectionism, but willingly subsidize SOME investors losses in Mexico, hedge funds, banks, brokerage houses.

Where should the lines be drawn?
