The article says that taxpayers would benifit from the bailout. How would this happen? Where does the 700 billion come from? Taxes? “There’s a tendency for people to think these are stocks and bonds and you know what the price is,” said [|Bruce Bartlett], a former White House economist under President Reagan. “The problem is people are operating in a world in which nobody knows what the hell is going on. There’s some naïve assumptions about how this would function.” Are nieve asumptions what started the whole bailout? Is there real reasons behind the 700 billion dollars? Where did this bailout start? What was the cause of it? People have many different persepctives on this problem. How will they decide one from the other? Who has the authority? Will the Treasury take into consideration many opinions? How will they make a compremise?
