Ok so in the midst of the greatest economic crisis the world has seen Obama decides to pass a half socialist/half debt deferred to taxpayer bill?

He is taking action, but not on the right things at all. Stress test will only make banks horde cash, you think they are going to lend while the government has them under a microscope? Worst idea ever. You expect capitalists who are competing against each other to act equal? They are gonna all try to pass the tests and I bet the administration comes out of this with not a fucking clue as to which ones they should save.
