    They're bullshit tests in the first place whose goal is to sell the idea that the Federal Government need to take a more active role in the banking system. It's just a step towards the nationalization of our banks.

    I'd like to see government give itself a stress test and see how it does.

    NEW YORK – Stocks soared Friday as Wall Street cheered the positive news it had been hoping for: Job losses slowed in April and big banks don't need as much capital as some had feared. All the major indicators rose more than 1 percent, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which jumped 150 points.

    these stress tests were taken when the nation needed a rushed, foolish spending plan to pay off pet projects when Obama was pushing for the stimulus package IIRC.
