I trust we are all aware of the tory "model" for the economy: Let business and industry run it efficiently for profit, growth, and job creation; keep government out of it. By "business" and "industry" we are meant to understand the leaders of business, the CEOs and top brass. But it seems the US experience with top businessmen (the ones who have avoided jail

) is far from happy. And I have no doubt that the UK experience is similar. They can't seem to be trusted to wipe their own assholes without breaking the law or just plain screwing up. We have to assume by the bye that business leaders are just natural tories or Republicans.

40% of top-paid CEOs busted, bailed out or booted, study says - Business - CBC News

Ok. So, it's only 40%. But how many of the rest just haven't been caught yet, or are just plain mediocre ... as in too dumb and inefficient to come up with a cute illegal plan for maximising their own personal wealth.

And when the bailouts arrive, we all know out of whose pockets the money comes. The poor bloody taxpayer that's who. I reas lots of stuff on here about govt. inefficiency, but the alternative seems worse.
