Bailout et Resident Evil

Alors que Bryan se plaignait récemment que Resident Evil 5 n'avait rien de bon en termes de nouveautés, moi je me plaignais des banques qui reçoivent de l'aide de l'État. De quoi je parle? C'est quoi le lien entre des zombies et des banques insolvables?

C'est très simple, les deux devraient mourrir normalement :

Zombie banks beg for money. They are very clever. They come up with ways you can give them money while pretending not to give them money, such as guaranteeing their assets, guaranteeing new debt issues, or buying up assets at "hold to maturity" values. Just say no! A healthy financial system cannot be run by zombies. "Rescuing" insolvent banks makes about as much sense as tying string to the arms of a loved one's corpse so it can come to the dinner table as a marionette. For a while that may be comforting (or not), but pretty soon it's sure to smell really bad, and it's gonna ooze. If you think you have engineered a miraculous turnaround, you have only made matters worse. An undead bank is an abomination. It will pretend good health but hide a rot. It will afflict you, over and over and over again, with harrowing near insolvencies (cf Citibank). Dead banks must be allowed to die.
