Even though politicians on both sides of the aisle agreed on the deal, I am yet to find a person who believes bailing out financial insistutions who made bad judgements is a good idea. I can’t fathom this idea of capitalism on the way up, and socialism on the way down. Still I think the options of the government are limited at this time, maybe a deal is better than doing nothing.
