Why don't the Feds

Just buy up all the private companies?

They have done such a great job with everything they touch!!!

Maybe this is the beginning of the end for the USA and the princples that it was built upon.

The feds ALREADY bought it, they just didn't exactly get it. The money the fed just poured into Citigroup is now greater than the remaining market cap.
