But what does the Treasury Department have to do with this? I sincerely hope that they’re not planning to use my tax dollars to subsidize any of this.

I have the feeling we are about to get a bail out called something else, sort of like it's not amnesty if you don't call it amnesty. Let the banks eat their loans.

We’ll see but I haven’t seen that in print so far.

It could also be that it simply took some prodding and that if the banks got together on their own they could be in violation of federal rules/laws which are likely nearly countless. I don’t know...

It appears, from what I see here, that the Treasury is only helping in the negotation process and nothing more.

If that’s the case, I can accept that.
