Every single bailout has been for the banksters.

Exactly.

Now that we have actually lived through the initial 2+ years of post-capitalism in America, everyone should now know, first-hand, that it was never possible for the banks to lose money.

Logically, there are only three possible scenarios for banks.

1. Banks take risks and make money.

2. Banks take risks and break even.

3. Banks take risks and lose money.

Having clearly seen behind the curtain, which has been fully opened, we now understand that scenarios 2 and 3 are completely mitigated by The Federal Reserve.

Ergo, their risks were NEVER real!!!

Let that sink in! The risks assumed by banks were NEVER REAL!!! They were never in danger of losing!!!
