There may be capacity to handle it internally, I don't know. He didn't seem entirely confident it does. But even assuming it does, there no way to predict that they would. If they could they already would have. But the same runaway greed that caused the whole thing in the first place would come into play preventing them handling it internally. The problem is the system is frozen, or clogged up. The pipes are fine, they can handle the flow, but these people are now so deep into self preservation mode, to hell with anyone else, that nothing is moving at all. the pipes have a clog that has to be plungered out. The government is only one that can seemingly remove the clog.
The part about preventing executive windfalls could be a problem. So long as they forbid the outgoing, fired executive from getting windfall by exercising options or getting huge severances. No way should any person who had a part in making these bad decisions get any kind of package. But they cannot limit what the incoming guys are going to get. If a new class of executives gets it done, they should be rewarded with very nice bonuses.
the market would find a natural price for them, they have to give up their egos and greed...we should not get involved...
we shouldn't do it...
