It is really shocking to see a country which has protected for so many years its Capitalism inside as well as outside, applying a rescue system whose principle was known to be the first enemy of the USA till 1990. Many wars, in many parts of the world, have taken place to fight the so called Communism, but hearing the president of the USA himself saying that Some free-market principles had to be thrown you see how much you have mistaken and you understand that those wars were for something else not for the sake of the so called Capitalism.
