Businesses don't need to receive government bailouts to stay in business.

Saying that they're probably also oblivious to the fact that every single western government has adopted the same strategy? Why? Because it works.
Nope. It's because politicians need to be seen doing something, regardless of whether it works or not, or they won't be reelected, which is the first goal of almost every politician.

I dread to think what would of happened if we had a McCain administration..
Same thing, lesser extent. He would need votes too.
