I later worked for UPS at the DFW airport.  I saw first-hand the difference between a government run operation, and a business.   While I support government imposed requirements for any business partaking of the tax-payer funded bailout, I don&#39;t think having the federal government actually run the banks is the answer.  Has nothing to do with either party.  The federal government is simply not interested in efficiency.  I hope it&#39;s only a rumor.
