The first paragraph from Yahoo news reads:
A half-trillion dollar bailout that the Bush administration and Congress are negotiating this weekend for faltering financial institutions could unload their bad debt on the government, and in turn the taxpayer.
So let me get this right ... financial institutions made bad loans that are either delinquent or in default to people who should not have received them in the first place and now in order to keep the CREDIT markets afloat the government is going to do a massive bail out so that these same institutions can continue to loan.
Do not get me wrong I agree with the statement made by Treasury Secreta ...
