WRONG. Your failure to understand simple economics is bewildering for somebody who thinks so highly of their own understanding of the world.A regular working class American doesn't give two shits about your pompous use of the term "US economy." What he does give a shit about is why the hell his standard of living went down, yet the government was bailing out banks and not the workers. For all the workers care, you can shove "ThE EcOnOmY" where the light don't shine.
TARP is what saved American workers from even more massive job losses. A collapse of the US financial system would have lead to a collapse of the US economy. People who say otherwise are simply clueless or so caught up so much in their own make-believe world of political dogma that they can't grasp reality.
