bad at it or not, I want the government no where NEAR wages for anyone but their own employees.
That is one slippery slope I want absolutely no part of. Unfortunately, it will likely go with the territory of propping up failing banks rather then letting them fail and other, better run, companies step in to fill the void. That's the real fault in this IMO. Demand doesn't simply vanish because a business goes under, where there is demand it will be met.
And should be met by those who can efficiently do so, not those propped up.
