"Our Government is investing in the banks without controlling them."

It took control of Fan/Fred. I know they're not banks. Still, they are financial institutions.

The big question is, what will they do with them? Supposedly, the plan is to carry on as usual for two years, then sell 10%/yr.

We shall see. Especially if Osama gets together with Bawney Fwank.

Historically (way back), Democrats have re-privatized economic/make-work assets that were bought/created by the government in due time. But there's a whole new breed of Democrats these days: concerned more about their pathological social issues than labor or other economic issues. ...hard to tell. The usual Democrat tactic is to carry out emergency plans as passed by Congress, then to hit private companies up for bigger money and control in other ways (lateral attacks of gradualism in other areas, using previous issues as ruses).
