Mark is right on. we need real value creation and that only comes through innovation not from saving GM or Citi or any other large corporation that has not added value for years. the best thing that government can do is create more incentive for investors to invest in entrepreuners. We need to innovate faster and create more real value through hard work.
It would also help to get rid of CEO's like Wagoner at GM who has been there since 1977 and gets paid $14M to destroy an industry. We need hard working Americans to go back to creating real value.
