The boardroom of a large financial institution is discussing their role in the financial crisis and subsequent bailout. They acknowledge that their previous actions did not work out as planned, but they had contributed money to both political parties ensuring a government bailout. They are confident the bailout and consolidation of smaller banks will allow them to take over remaining conservative institutions with good assets.

1. Same Fat-Cat Boardroom
(several years later)
Well, that didn't
work out so hot...

2. The good news is we
have been giving
money to both parties...
so this bail-out thing is
virtually guaranteed!!

3. Hey, didn't the treasury
secretary used to work here?

4. Yea, and the Fed
Chairman too

5. Look guys... this is
going to workout just
fine! Our actions will
put most of the small
banks out of business

6. Yea... and the
ones that are left
must be really
conservative and
have great assets!!

7. EXACTLY! Now
we have our
takeover targets

8. BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
