The bond holders had no choice. If they let CIT go under they risked losing most if not all of their investment. To them the collapse of many small businesses who depend on CIT would have initially been collateral damage. They do know that in the long run insipient small business collapse would have turned into a disaster even worse than the one we have now. This private bailout of CIT only bought some time. If the Christmas shopping season turns out to be as bad as it looks like it might all of the bailouts government and private will not matter. The true hypocrisy of this administration will emerge and the possibility of political destruction for it and the ultra liberal branch of the democratic party may ensue.

The reason CIT was turned down is that tey are a small business laoner. That idiot in the white house wants all small business dead so he can control what's left with TARP money. That gives him more power. This country is so stupid anymore, no one understands economics, they are all xboxers who like rap music. God help us.
