After Government Motors, Government Healthcare

Obama expects to install a government run healthcare system this year. If he doesn't get it this year then he will not get it at all, some say. If he does get it this year, or any year, we're all in trouble.

But here's an idea: Why not form a government conglomerate? Call it Government, Inc. Make Government Motors a wholly-owned subsidiary. Make Medicare a subsidiary too and offer government health insurance to all. Throw in energy and the environment. Call if Government Energy and Government Enviro. Appoint Rahm Emanuel as CEO. Larry Summers could be chairman. Plug Geithner in there somewhere.

Sounds workable. No?
