Having been a trader on the FX desk at BofA during the financial crisis I had a front row seat for the meltdown - I’m of the opinion that a cleansing fire in 2008 was exactly the medicine that was needed.
Because bailouts were given, the market was no longer able to function as a true market - punishing bad behavior. Which is what has gotten us into the mess we are currently in. I think the government is a bloated sweaty mess that should be shrunken to its barest bones. And the tax bill levied on citizens should reflect that.
