    Now these cities, Yes the thugs that were murdering Raping committing Arson and Robbing the local businesses

    Yep some of those Worthless individuals, would have been shot and killed, and I am ok with that. is lets people know that they are not above the law.
    No, no, no, no, you're not getting away with that. Let's talk about the savings and Loan scandal, the crash of 2008, corporate subsidies etc etc etc. The auto industry was not bailed out to save the unions.

    Were the first American Patriots worthless individuals? Was MLK a worthless individual?

    C'mon dude.

    I actually agree with this, that too big to fail crap is for the birds.

    The only exception that I would have is when the Government mandates something that causes a business to fail, through no fault of their own

    I don't remember MLK burning down cities, Raping Women, Stealing and destroying Private property.

    Now you do have the Boston Tea Party where the Patriots destroyed Tea to prevent paying Taxes., but that was the only private Damage I know of Though I could be forgetting. Until the War Started. There is lots of $#@! that gets broken and lots of people get killed in a war.

    Now as for the Savings and Loan, YES that was Government Mandated Crisis though tiny compared to the Mortgages crisis of the late 2000's But as a country we did let history repeat itself.

    As for the Auto Industry?

    You Can't blame Democrats for wanting to save all of those Union Donations.

Ya' can't have it both ways.
    I didn't ask for it both ways. You presumed I did then tried to gig me for something that YOU said I thought.

    Don't make up stuff and pretend I said it.

    I really thought you were better than this. Obviously I was wrong.

    They did a great job in Portland.

    Regarding the OP. No federal tax payer dollars to pay for problems caused by local policy.

    Zero.
