Et Tu James A. Baker, III?

Wow, even James Baker thinks the big banks should be temporarily nationalized. From an op ed in the Financial Times:

This approach is not pretty or easy. It will cost a lot of money, with the lion’s share coming from US taxpayers, at least in the short to medium term. But the alternative – a piecemeal pumping of more public money into insolvent banks in the vague hope that things will improve down the road – could truly be historic folly.
