The government bails out comparatively few businesses.
While many, myself included, dislike the practice, I don't think it happens on a large enough scale to make a significant impact on the economy at large.
I don't really feel like I know much about this, so someone may point out an obvious way in which I'm wrong, but:
How do you measure the effects of the moral hazard created by the post-housing crisis bailouts circa 2008? Are major financial institutions incentivized to take outsized risks if they're too big to fail? How can we be sure that doesn't "make a significant impact on the economy at large"?
