The Urgent Financial Crisis Facing Obama

"...it does rather worry me that we don't actually have a Treasury secretary right now, and won't for a while yet. There is a large number of very important decisions to be made, and the decision-makers have to be put in place now. Delay can only cause harm, at this point."

Actually not having a Treasury secretary right now might give me a night of good sleep; the last one ripped a few trillion dollars out of the pockets of the taxpayers. And subsidizing the favored banks ain't exactly fair to all of the other banks that were prudent with their capital. Oh that's right - questions of fairness are out the window in this brave new world.
