What a headline....

Posted by Chris Farrell on Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Did you ever think you would read a headline like this?

U.S. Announces Plan to Buy Stakes in Largest Banks
Recipients Include Citi, Bank of America, Goldman; Government Pressures All to Accept Money as Part of Broadened Rescue Effort.

This one is from today's Wall Street Journal.

It's a good move.
