7. the dispute is about
is what has taken place over years - the damage has been done. We cannot now wish the problem away.

The problem is - how do we fix this so the average person does not suffer terribly.
It may be that the bill is the least painful because we would have a stake in the future sales.

I think the Dems need to hammer through some more punitive measures in the bill so those responsible are made to pay something - not just their golden parachutes. That might make it more palatable to the American people. Right now they feel like they are saving scoundrels and thieves. They have to understand we are saving ourselves.
