    Healthcare Summit; Goldman/Greece; Toyota/Toyoda in DC

    Did President Obama's healthcare summit achieve anything? Is Goldman Sachs bringing down the world's economy? Is it Wall Street gone wild or just the progress of capitalism?  And is the US trouncing on Toyota because it owns GM? How did Mr. Toyoda do on Capitol Hill?

    Did President Obama's healthcare summit achieve anything? Tony thinks the GOP came out ahead of expectations; while Obama mastered his arguments, he didn't help himself. Bob says he has no effective way of keeping costs in check. Arianna says he was impressive but despite all evidence to the contrary, still believes bipartisan solution is possible. Matt urges people to read the transcripts (faster than the video) because all the arguments are there and you'll see past the political posturing. In other news, is Goldman Sachs they bringing down the world's economy? Is it Wall Street gone wild -- or just the progress of capitalism? And is the US trouncing on Toyota because it owns GM? How did Mr. Toyoda do on Capitol Hill?
