The same Treasury department that did not hesitate to fire GM's CEO seems determined to keep zombie banks and their zombie managers intact at all cost. And all cost, in this case, could be trillions.

Washington has cast aside a remarkable executive who already has presided successfully over many of the most difficult elements of the rescue of GM in a way that is rare in the history of business.

I asked one of America's foremost horse racing handicappers to take time out from the grandstand and bet on political outcomes. What's his line on Geithner?

We say GM can't make fuel-efficient cars we want to drive, but the Camaro proves otherwise. Whatever his failings, Wagoner, who resigned Sunday, deserves a piece of that credit.

Rick Wagoner's forced resignation proves the common stereotype: nice guys finish last. He isn't just a nice guy he's a smart businessman. I know this because Rick is my friend.

The worst thing we can do is invest billions in these troubled businesses but be stingy when it comes to paying the skilled individuals who are badly needed to turn the organizations around.
