These greedy bastards are going to destroy the country free market just to get a bailout for themselves.

When they cannot manage themselves and need government to step in, they open the door for more regulation and interference in the economy.

Meanwhile, the rest of us pick up the tab.

And don't think it won't happen. Pelosi is already demanding that congress have the power to approve their business plans in order to get the handout.
