#2 I agree with them that bailing out the banks was the wrong thing to do.

Should have let them go bust.

A lot of people would have lost a lot of money, but better that than socializing the losses which is what they bailouts did.

In another remarkable coincidence, Mayor Bloomberg's girlfriend, Diana Taylor, is on the Brookfield Board of Directors.

#6 why does a company worth billions need taxpayer funding for some green energy project? The first question is, how did this company get to be worth billions in the first place? I suspect it was taxpayer funding / rent-seeking all along.
