It seems that the best minds of our society are withholding their valuable services in response to unwarranted government intrusions. According the NY Times bankers who had stepped forward to accept billions in Federal funds and undertake the rescue of our financial system are now having second thoughts.

Congress and the administration have attached all sorts of onerous conditions, low bonus payments and executive salaries, restrictions on foreclosures and so on and bankers have responded with righteous indignation. Wonks Anonymous wonders whatever we shall do without their valuable services.

Have a nice time out on the farm folks.
