[lbo-talk] hmm, guess nationalization's ok sometimes

[Chris Maisano]

I'm confused as to why they are asking for an expansion of the power to seize non-bank institutions when they have shown a complete aversion to seizing the banks themselves. Does this indicate that they actually intend to move against the hedge funders in some fashion? I can't see why they would. This strikes me as some ex post facto ass covering more than anything else.
