I spent 7 years of my life drafting corporate and financial documents and most of the time I was in a fog of confusion. For the first year or so, I thought it was just me. Then it hit me one day that everyone was as completely confused as I was. We were creating these thousand, two thousand, three thousand page documents under a deadline, staying up night after night, becoming sleep deprived, no one completely comprehending the full structure of what was being created (the bankers knowing models, the accountants knowing numbers and the lawyers knowing clauses and conditions) while also looking for catastrophic typos that could change things like "$10 thousand" to "$10 million."

This 100 page bill was drafted basically over the weekend by the staff of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and Henry Paulson. The Democrats may have rolled over many times, but I'd be surprised if they are driving a process to allow the final corporate global takeover of the world just months before they will be given the keys to the kingdom in an Obama administration.

This legislation is basically coming out of Barney Frank's office, and having followed his career of the years, I just haven't seen him as a driver of final corporate global takeover, even if on economic matters he's pretty beholden to the financial sector.

Maybe they did have nefarious objectives; on the other hand, maybe it's still a very rough, badly drafted, incomplete bill created by confused sleep deprived people.
