If the Gov't wants to buy them outright and become communist in nature, but state openly what you are doing, don't play the game where you pretend you don't own them, but you want to make all major decisions. The gov't shouldn't have given bailouts to begin with, now that they have, they need to figure out a way to give them the independence back.

Did you just wake up after a hundred year nap? Most of the bailouts were NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

Goldman Sachs got $70 billion dollars from the taxpayer. Noone is telling their CEO what to do. Their CEO is telling US what to do.

Read my lips. We do not own Goldman Sachs. THEY OWN US.

Hey I don't think we needed to bail them out, in fact we should have strenghtened the banks that were not in financial trouble and had them buy out criminal companies.
