In fact, the US government's largest rescue plan since the Great Depression has been opposed by most lawmakers, and many opponents hope to include their own recipes into the plan.
For example, the government should make profits from the banks it holds, and the government should limit the labor costs provided to banks that profit in the rescue plan, hoping that the bankruptcy ruling would allow the collateral creditors to lower mortgage interest rates.
In addition, there are also lawmakers who request that the government's financial regulation function should be comprehensively inspected and the Ministry of Finance should supervise the management of huge aid funds.
The Washington Post: The government’s rescue plan submitted to parliament will give the Treasury privileges that it can purchase non-performing assets from any financial institution over the next two years, whether the headquarters of these institutions are in the United States or not.
Meanwhile, the Treasury will be able to buy, sell, hold residential and commercial mortgages and these loans support claims without little congressional intervention.
"This is the largest amount and least restricted amount of money I have seen in my life," said Douglas Elmendorf, a famous economist at the Brookings Institution. "The Secretary of Finance can do whatever he wants and buy whatever he wants."
"The lawmakers won't agree that senior corporate officials will earn taxpayers' money. If we're going to pay for all the bad assets caused by these people's wrong decisions and let them leave with millions of dollars, it would be a big mistake. The American people won't allow this to happen, nor will it happen," said Barney Frank, a Republican.
But Treasury Secretary Paulson believes that if the rescue plan is not passed quickly, the U.S. banking system will face collapse.
He hopes to use government funds to acquire the assets of trapped banks at a low price, and hopes that once banks get out of trouble, they can start borrowing each other again to avoid the collapse of the US financial system.
