Agreed. The government cannot say no forever. They're not accepting the money now due to the stress tests and for the need to maintain capital as a reserve, but that wont last. It's not like we're going to be in a 3-4 year recession, which brings me back to my original stance: I'm really not worried. It's like the swine flu: both sides (private sector and .gov) are over reacting, but when the dust settles everything will run its course and things will reside.
