Why are we bailing out anyone? Let 'em alone, else they'll never learn how to fix their problems.

Why are we bailing out anyone? Let 'em alone, else they'll never learn how to fix their problems.

It would seem to make the most sense, however, as TR learned from Venezuela when their economy was failing (yes, a century ago -- some things never change) if they default than someone has to step in. We don't want it to be Europe.
As it is, they hate the U.S. because this is somehow the fault of the U.S.
What's needed is a sound economy based on open markets (won't happen, especially not with the trade restrictions we have on them) and an open political climate (that just won't happen.)
So we pitch in cash every 15-20 years, they call us American pigs and the Yankees swoop in and grab the best and the brightest for their World Series run.
