Don’t Blink, or You’ll Miss Another Bailout

The New York Times reports:
Many people became rightfully upset about bailouts given to big banks during the mortgage crisis. But it turns out that they are still going on, if more quietly, through the back door.

No laissez-faire doctrine here in America.
