I don't know how they think this going to end well for them. It can't possibly.

I think the most likely outcome is the political pressure will become too much and reform will happen. But the reasonable people in the US are in a precarious position of fighting corporate influence and the extremely violent radical left and right developing in the US until that happens. It's a very scary situation.
See, this is the thing. It already has.

As I see it, the people who did all this are long gone. They took their bailout money and then did just that, bailed. They took and took and took and then the Government gave them more money and they took that too.

Sure, their companies are still around doing their thing, but those guys are probably on a beach somewhere cashing cheques.

Its about leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. I honestly dont believe it ever will be cleaned up.

But I agree with you about one thing, the longer this goes on the greater the likelihood that the backlash or pushback, is going to be a violent one.
