A housing fix

On Aug. 17, the Treasury Department held a "conference" on the future of housing finance. Just a mere two years after the seismic fall, It comes after Healthcare and Fin-Reg. Priorities, huh?

So, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Shaun Donovan of Housing and Urban Development held court with a dozen pre-selected panelists.

Not much really new came out of this confab except for the call by one to nationalize the industry and another to let the divine being sort things out (sort of).
