If the government is willing to bail out companies that fail then it reduces risks, so you should be more willing to invest in those companies.

You're assuming that the govt will bail out investors. GM proves that it won't. It can't even be relied on to guarantee that lenders keep their place in line.

Yes, exactly. That is the problem. Capital destroying companies are attracting capital due to government interference, when really they should be liquidated and bought up by competent managers.
