These companies are like a sinking ship and the government is telling the executive to bail water with a sieve. Why is that when politicians get to Washington they think they can part the seas and restore the fortunes of the nation, when this entirely dependent upon the efforts of hard-working entrepreneurial capitalists in private enterprise.

That's sure to get the financial sector on sound economic and financial footing, right? Just like postal, medicare, social security, the unified Federal budget, OMG. There is a tried and true model for failing banks. That is the CC shows up Friday night with padlocks, ejects senior management and ownership interests, turns the bank over to a receiver or private sector purchaser over the weekend, and then leaves by Monday morning, when the branch offices re-open with a new sign on the doors. It's sad to see that the Obama administration is using the police power of the state to control and make examples of banks, rather than applying elements of the tried and true model as much as possible. The government foregoing TARP money that it might have otherwise have been returned from CITI and BAC will just the first of many benefits we will see from the Obama administration's interference.

Sub-market reimbursment rates are already causing providers to not accept new patients. Its only a matter of time before medical professionals become slaves of the government. Re: Directive 10-289

I’m still waiting for when doctors will be forced by law to accept Medicare, medicaid and whatever government healthcare program exisists.
