And just how many times and how many trillions should we consider as they will always come back for more. My personal belief is ZERO. We should never have given them money in the first place, let the problems happen, correction and a return to normal would happen much quicker. Free markets will correct themselves and work well if left alone. It was intervention in the free market process that created the problems in the first place. Unions making the auto companies non competitive and bad loans forced on the banks by congress causing the mess with the sub prime markets. Government involvement almost always causes more problems then it solves. They should protect, not regulate, monitor, not control, audit, not manage.
