32. concessions?

first off, the government doesn't get 'concessions' from Wall Street or any other industry, the government regulates.

second off, what concessions exactly? repayment with interest? check. collateral bonds? check. flat out equity? check. making a profit on your investments? (did you know the Federal Reserve, which did most of the non-TARP investing, made a profit of 86 billion this year? that went straight to the treasury)

oh, I got it, this is about compensation, isn't it? bonuses? that's what you think needs concessions and regulations? right? why not just say so?
