The US middle class ended in 2008 when the government chose to bail out the banks with public money

I remember. It’s when the “too big to fail” phrase found its way to public awareness. Oh wait, that was another 10 years earlier. I think it started when a big, a really big Chicago bank failed and bank regulators withheld receivership for a few days to allow other banks to quickly withdraw uninsured fed funds. But then when the bank finally went into receivership there wasn’t enough money left to cover deposits that exceeded FDIC guarantees.

I would add that it was a process that started with Reagan.

And I get it is a slogan but I have issues with socialism being equated with looting the treasury.
