Official narrative
The Official narrative about bailouts is confused and not regularly discussed by commercially-controlled media.
"Too big to fail"
One phrase which crops up is that banks are "too big to fail", which might suggest that they were too big. Bailouts however are effectively a huge transfer of wealth from taxpayers to those invested in the banks, a policy which increases the wealth of those banks, which increase wealth inequality. Bailouts are faits accomplis, not subject to even a nominal democratic control or performance review. In this sense they were prefigured by another massive financial fraud, the US Savings and loan debacle of the 1980s.
