The deception continues and the losers continue to win.  We have now confirmed that Geithner made the banks whole on their AIG default swaps.  If we had a government and an economy that actually punished those who made bad decisions (countries with such a system call this free market capitalism) we would have forced these companies to take their lumps.  We would also fire Tim Geithner immediately.  To make matters worse, we learn today that Fannie Mae is implementing loose lending policies that helped contribute to this housing crisis in the first place.  Does anyone out there see what has changed in the last few years that shows we can avoid these debacles in the future?  Thus far, it looks like nothing has changed.
