Part of me wonders why a Republican Administration, who is, in theory, anti-regulation and anti-big government, is pushing this proposal, but a great question has been asked of Paulson and Bernanke, in Paulson and Bernanke push bailout as Lehman assets sold - Yahoo! News:

Paulson and Bernanke are certainly at the center of this crisis. Their answer will be interesting.............if they ever answer.
