We don't want a government commandeered by those in our banking system who have failed and been passed over by technological advancements, innovation and flat-out smarts. But right now, that's what we've got.

It's no secret that some people earn more than others, but the gap is huge, and getting bigger every year. There have been some cool innovations designed to try to address this imbalance, but none have caught on in a big way. And now a couple of clever guys from Silicon Valley may just have reinvented the compensation wheel.

People are just not loyal to banks anymore, and why should they be? Banks leveled the first blow to the relationship by becoming estranged, unfamiliar and impersonal.

Wouldn't you have wanted to be at Treasury on Tuesday when Geithner read FDIC head Sheila Bair's Times op-ed, in which she continues to wage war against the Treasury's plan for a super-regulator?

I've tiptoed only so far into Techno-Dollar World. I finally started paying some of my bills online. Which was more than enough to get me into hot water.

Among conspiracy theories, the one about Goldman Sachs controlling the world, is as hackneyed as they come. But it was only a matter of time before somebody didn't think it was silly at all.

Avoiding financial calamity is a good thing and it does appear that the global economy is past the worst point in the cycle, but a self-sustained recovery is not necessarily in the bag.

Political colonialism is now a thing of the past, but under the new Financial Stability Board guidelines, nations can still be held in feudalistic subservience to foreign masters.

Bail out the banks, but not the 500,000 poor families with children served by the CalWorks program, which will be dismantled, or the 928,000 children covered by the Healthy Families program, slated for oblivion.

The financial "stress tests" on the big banks gave us good news: they "only" need $75 billion of new capital. That's a lot of money, but much less than many of us feared.
Shawn Bayern | Posted 06.12.2009 | Business
