    The 3 a.m. call has already been made

    twice this year, but it was our government calling out to the private sector for help. The first was to Bank of America when it became obvious that Countrywide Mortgage was going down; the second to JPMorgan Chase when Bear Sterns tanked. These buyouts happened, literally, overnight in an effort to deflect a market disaster. No lengthy FTC, SEC or DOJ reviews and not a peep of objection from Republicans or Democrats. If you want to see who wields the true power in this nation, look to those banks.
