That’s simplistic thinking. The majority of those businesses would not have been able to pay staff and there would have been many redundant “average guys on the street”.

Perhaps, but perhaps the simplistic thinking is that the bailout changes anything. Are businesses which are trying to meet payroll now running a buffer in multiple banks? Are they securing the future of their employees by making sure they can meet payroll in an emergency? Probably not and as a result they didn't learn anything from the experience.

The truth is, this is the tip of the iceberg. Don't be sailing on the Titanic since you have been warned.
