    Has anyone been reading about the Dodd-Frank bill? It sounds like a really bad idea.

    Quoted: Valliere said that the idea gaining the most support is a plan from Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd and House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank. Both are Democrats.

    Quoted: The proposal, likely to be introduced soon after Congress returns from the Easter recess next week, would have the Federal Housing Administration guarantee hundreds of billions of new, lower-cost loans to troubled homeowners. Many borrowers would see their total principal on these new mortgages reduced under this program.

    Quoted: "I think there's a growing populist feeling that if you're going to bail out Bear Stearns you better bail out individuals," said Greg Valliere, political economist with the Stanford Group, a Washington think tank.

    And I don't understand why people think the Feds loan to JP Morgan to buy Bear Stearns is a 'bailout'. Why do people think this?
