I have my suspicions that if US government were to announce that it was “regulating” JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs by taking 100% ownership and consolidating them under new state-appointed management as the Bank of the United States, their current directors and shareholders and the right wing generally would not see the expropriation as a matter of mere semantics. But, judging by some of the comments on this thread, maybe it is time to follow suit and drop my obsession with these words and labels. :) _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
