On a Somewhat Positive Note

The government is currently working a deal to sell its remaining stake in Citigroup, while possibly making a handy $8 billion in the process... too bad the deficit is so huge it won't make a dent, much less reduce your taxes this year. If nothing else, the government is reducing its stake in the banking industry, and without completely frittering all of your tax dollars that went to T.A.R.P.
