I don't think Obama did enough about the mis-management of these companies and did too much in bailing them out.

As the federal gov't actually owned a large chunk of these corporations via the bailout, they can limit salaries as they wish. It's always shocking to hear how much some of these companies lost each year and compare that with the ever-increasing CEO salaries. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I think the stimulus bill needs to be revised to include more money for actual infrastructure development, but this one does not. regarding your last comment that banks are in it to make a profit, I don't understand that comment. Are you saying that making a profit is a bad thing? Motivation to earn a profit is not the problem. The people in the financial industry and other industries that let greed and corruption take them over are the problem. the people are the problem, not the system.

I've always believed that infrastructure such as finance, transportation, public utilities, and energy(Exxon's $45 billion dollar profit at our expense) should be more tightly federally regulated. A problem or flat out greed in any of those industries has the power to bring the United States to a grinding halt. I think Obama's on the right track. As far as a national bank, I believe it would be far better for consumers than it is now. Remember, banking is a business and besides credit unions they're in it to make a profit.
