Hi, as an 18 year old with a very rudimentary understanding of economics and politics, i am struggling to grasp the conflicting viewpoints on the bailout plan.

basically, my main questions are: the main opposition to the plan seems to center on the carte blanche it would grant paulson to intervene in the economy, but in the current circumstances, could such powers not be necessary? and besides the bailout plan, are there any feasible alternative plans that can be pursued?

i hope someone could help explain these to me
