      Nothing in the legislation reads as a bailout, the government would unilaterally take 50% stake and the associated voting power. The American public is no worse off if it doesn’t turn a profit or gets liquidated.

      The bailout would happen when the conservative vultures circle. “We can’t let them fail, that would devalue the American portfolio (never mind that this bailout is 2x any value that could ever be gained back)
