    Yes, I know I didn’t address nuance of economy and labor market in the curtness of my reply. But that is often poorly communicated or not at all, so we just see another private entity getting our money gratis or with very low interest.

    Add onto that the de facto American policy that private citizens are on their own, circumstances be damned, while the capitalist interests get rescued every time their greed and other missteps hurt their ability to compete in the sacred free market and maybe you can see why people are less than charitable with how they perceive these events.

      I think you arguing perception and I am arguing disinformation or lack of information as in if you went around the streets and asked some people whether the bailout money was paid back you’d get more people thinking it was just given to them.
