Ah, I see the beginnings of a bright new future ahead of us...in twenty years, I can see the opening of some new buildings in our nation's fair capital:

The Insurance Regulation Commission

The Mortgage Regulation Commission

The Healthcare Regulation Commission

Oh, wait...that doesn't scare you? Let me change the wording a bit:

The Insurance Ministry

The Mortgage Ministry

The Healthcare Ministry

Commission sounds so...innocuous, doesn't it? So American, so patriotic! And yet what we've done today with the bailout of AIG is create another taxpayer funded risk pool, so you might as well stick a fucking sign on it and call it the American Insurance Commission and be done with it.

Damnit, so much for market correction and free trade.

Or Truthiness Ministry if you prefer
