That bailout again

Such a fucking good idea, wasn't it?

Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. said it’s buying a Florida bank for $10 million so the insurer can be eligible for the Treasury rescue program. Hartford, based in the Connecticut city of the same name, expects to qualify for $1.1 billion to $3.4 billion under Treasury guidelines, the company said in a statement distributed today by Business Wire.


Rent-seeking, anyone? For fucking sake of fucking fuck, I didn't see this shit happening from a mile away.

Utter, utter cunts.

Hat tip to the ASI.
