Columnist: Some people argue that the government should not take over failing private-sector banks because the government does not know how to manage financial institutions. However, rather than managing a bank' s day-to-day operations, the government would just need to select the bank' s senior management. Most politicians have never been military professionals, yet they appoint the top military officials entrusted with defending the country -- at least as great a responsibility as managing a bank.

A: Politicians do an adequate job of appointing the top military officials entrusted with defending the country.
B: Banks that are owned by the government cannot be well managed.
