obama to tax banks to repay nonexistant tarp losses

Obama plans to tax big banks to cover losses from bailouts - latimes.com

But, unfortunately, the transparency meeting is non-transparent, closed to the press. (See his full schedule below.)

Which makes it -- what? -- secret openness? Open secrecy?
