The US government's Citibank investment is paying off because a bit of that huge stream of government cash/debt flowing into the economy has sloshed into Citi's bowl. The total overall net for the US government and us taxpayers will still be hugely negative. The first government divestments will be net gains. The realization of pain comes later. I'm cranky right now. My opinion tomorrow might be different.
