4. that sounds better
but much of the language is equivocal imo. too vague. and though it doesn't say it, i gather that the whole enchilada is going to be put in the hands of henry paulson. what power does the oversight commission have? if they're just watching it happen without any power to change or question or stop a bad transaction that's not good enough. i'm happy to see "judicial review" as long as obama's president and the courts aren't owned by bushies.

i don't know - i'm not an economist. i don't know. everything about this whole fucking episode stinks. it reeks of cheney writing the energy policy. i don't trust these people and don't see that changing behind this deal.

when do we get to see the actual piece of legislation? i will check the link to see if it's there.

thank you very much for posting.
