Ron Swanson on bailouts ...

Aus der aktuellen Parks & Recreation Folge "Bailout" (Episode 16, Staffel 5):
"Ron, what are you doing at a city council meeting? Are you lost? Are you hurt?" - "No, I am here to express an opinion. This action by Councilwoman Knope is nothing more than a thinly-veiled government bailout and I for one refuse to let her turn this town into a Socialist hellscape. Allow me to elaborate: The government should not prop up a failed business. That would be like giving food to a mortally wounded animal instead of slitting its throat and properly utilizing its meat and pelt." 
"Capitalism is the only way, Leslie. It moves our country forward. It’s what makes America great! And England okay, and France terrible. [...] The free market is a jungle, it's beautiful and brutal and should be left alone. When a buisness fails, it dies and a new better one takes its place. Just let buisness be buisness, and government be government.

Großartige Folge! Too Big, to Nail!
