    I don’t mind the idea of selling the company back. Depends on the company but there are some business that make no sense for the government to own.

    A bad example, but imagine a payday loan company. It can give some bad incentives to be locked into these businesses.

      Well, that is basically what happens in the U.S. government bailouts are loans, and if they default on the loan, the government takes control of the company and auctions off whatever it can to recoup costs.
