The great bailout horse-trading game Sep 23, 2008
"Are you going to turn over $700 billion to someone ... who will be in charge of all of this, without any accountability, oversight? Are you going to do it without making sure the taxpayer is first in line ... to get something back if these assets produce any -- any wealth? The uncertainty as to how this drama will play out is obviously spooking investors.
