If you want permenant socialism, sure, let's just give em all a raise. You want temporary socialism, I would suggest "the boss is a son of a *****" management technique. This molly-coddling you advocate makes you look like the socialist, not Obama.

The purpose of running these companies is so they can orderly be put out of business, AIG will be split up and liquidated, the banks will probably be dying to pay the money back so they aren't, like I said, I hope it is as unpleasant as possible, the greed of the people who ran these companies, the massive payoffs to lobbyists and campaign coffers to make it all work, I'd like to see as many people as possible suffer so that it makes a lot of people think twice before "cowboy capitalism" ever becomes popular again.
