MORE ON THE BAILOUT

From Jim Lindgren at the Volokh Conspiracy:

I was mildly in favor of the bailout until I read Dodd's proposed statute. The way that the statute is drafted is so tricky and its definition of profit is so unsophisticated and nonsensical that the statute smells more of graft than of an honest attempt to solve the financial crisis. We are moving from failed "crony capitalism" to failed "crony community organizing."

Emphasis is mine. The text of the proposed statute is here.
