Gov't involvement in business opens Pandora's Box

If the Obama administration is acting to shield these companies from financial damage, that raises questions about whether that's the government's job
The gov't, for right or wrong, has LONG made it their policy to undertake actions to improve the US economy, and those companies that are part of it. And many of those who are lobbying now for disclosure are the biggest proponents of gov't involvement in the economy. So, it appears that they are only for gov't intrusion in business when it suits their own political leanings. Looks like they forgot one of the universal truths - get gov't involved in running business, you get the bad along with the good. THE BAD, of course, depending on one's political inclinations.

Not sure I agree with that whatsoever.

I see hardcore conservatives and liberals all wanting disclosure.

For different reasons? The liberals are supporting their party's proclamation of transparency, while the conservatives are calling out the liberals' failures of keeping promises of transparency.

He's not even "1 freakin' year" in guys, both the liberals and conservatives should give him a break, since everything is going to magically change in January.

Anyways, yeah, you're right on.

hahahahaha. that's funny.

you got the "...improve...those companies.." part right; not so much the US economy part.

the govts policies have done wonders for the bankrupt financial institutions that have ruined our economy, but they haven't done squat for the overall US economy. all the govt has done is try to re-inflate the bubble, debase the dollar and hope things get better before the sh!t hits the fan again.
