Who is held accountable for the significant failures that required bailing out
Wasn't the free market supposed to allow failing business to go extinct
Nothing makes sense
This world is run by idiots

It's not a free market. That's the problem.

Free markets aren't the issue. On the other hand, socialism has killed millions with starvation and the oppression necessary to make socialism work.

In this case, isn't it corporate welfare that is destroying the free market? And as for socialism in countries, don't the world banks and the CIA have a hand in many of their failings? Hard to create a socialist state, when the world banks shut you out and your leaders are getting drone striked.

Yes and yes. Or, at least in my opinion (not the same person you replied to, but I agreed with them).
