How will they be judged?

Listening to coverage of the upcoming Inaugural on NPR this morning, much of it a discussion of the economic mess his administration will face, I got to thinking about the future. In ten or fifteen years, when Americans are looking back at this time, how will corporate America be judged? Which companies hired lobbyists to protect their turf at the expense of the economic recovery? Which took money from the TARP program, even though they had other resources...though some will argue that the only reason for a company's existence is to make money and stay in business. What did you do in the war, Daddy? There is a Paul Krugman column in today's N.Y. Times in which he argues in favor of investigations into allegations of wrongdoing by the outgoing Bush Administration (It seems the President-Elect wants to look forward only). Will there be similer probes then? The last "For The Record" program will be a live 8pm program on Tuesday February 3rd on the economy.
