2+2=5?
There seems to be some great prima facie incongruity between the justifications for the recent “to-big-to-fail” bailouts and those reasons that motivated the now three-year-old (and sardonically named?) Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. I don’t know enough to speak on the matter with any certainty, but maybe there is someone else who can.
Perhaps, though I guess the general idea is that bailing out the big boys does help the little guy. Bailing out the little guy might help the little guy, but our economy might not depend on it.
