Sighhhhh

U.S. Government Assisting in Sale of Lehman Brothers

Here we go again. Our great capitalist model of a country, has the government meddling in private business. Since the government is so good at getting things done, what pray tell does "assisting" mean exactly? Here are some guesses:

1) Assisting with tax payer funded backing of a deal (bailout)
2) Assisting with holding the door open for the smart people with actual earned money to make a deal.
3) Assisting with arranging hookers and golf trips (oops, that's the energy side of government)

I think the government puts the "ASS" in assisting...don't you?
