I really, really don't understand what the problem is, the key words in this bill being "federally rescued". You know, the companies have a choice - go bankrupt or take government money. If you take the money, then you play by our rules. How is this "anti-capitalistic" or "Orwellian"?
You don't want the money, don't fucking take it. Ford didn't take it. If you don't take it and go bankrupt, well, there you go. Your choice. The companies OWN actions put them in the position of that choice, not the government.
In the private sector if you buy controlling interest in a company you have say on the procedures and whatnot of that company, if the government does it, why don't they get the same thing?
And secondly, the government is not looking to run these failed institutions in finitum, they're going to try to get them back to health as efficiently and quickly as possible and turn them back over to private management.
The Fox Tool is just playing semantics on a useless point.
