Not conspiratorial, but the government picking winners and losers is certainly ripe for abuse. The government's job is certainly not to use taxpayer's money to support businesses who made poor decisions (started with LTCM' bailout in 1997). The justification is always one of "saving the financial system from collapse", yet nothing was done since 2008 to break up the "too big to fail" entities.
