I'm all for guidelines overseeing those who receive taxpayer money to save/help/run their operations. However, government intervention in private business is not a recipe for success...I submit to you the words of our Founding Fathers...
"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse." - James Madison
"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity." - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address.
"The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." - John Adams
