PRIVATIZING PROFITS AND SOCIALIZING LOSSES
A phrase which describes how businesses and individuals can successfully benefit from any and all profits related to their line of business, but avoids losses by having those losses paid for by society. Privatizing profits and socializing losses suggests that when large losses occur for speculators or businesses, they are able to successfully lobby government for aide rather than face the consequences of said losses.
