Paulson proposal/Congress (? inside)
Does anyone know the details of what Congress and/or Paulson are asking for regarding the taxpayers taking over bad debts? All I can find are articles saying what might or should happen, but scant details on what is actually being proposed. The secrecy is very off-putting.

This is the idea I'm getting too; they're pushing to have the plan/legislation written this week. But the treasury/Paulson must have an outline at least, right?
There is a Treasury Dept. proposal; it is about 3 pages long and written in legislative language.
I may happen have the draft proposal saved to my desktop because a friend needed to borrow my computer this weekend. He'd kill me if I shared it, so let's pretend I don't.
I will say that the document, as of Saturday night, only included institutions headquartered in the US. There may be a more recent version than the one I have though.
Mxolisi- can you post and then DD after we read it?!
re: foreign banks, what does it matter where the bank's HQ's are located? This isn't supposed to be picking and choosing pet banks, it's supposed to be about buying the bad debt, which is American even if the bank is foreign. Foreign banks are a part of our financial industry. If we started excluding certain ones it would be a detriment to future investment IMO and would be considered protectionist.
