I guess it isn't all bad, the Republicans might have known what they were doing after all ;-)
There is NO taxpayer benefit, even if you ignore the destruction of the dollar that the bailouts and the Fed printing presses are bringing imminently closer to reality. Bernanke and Paulson already let it slip that they are going to purchase these worthless assets at ABOVE market value.
