Here's the thing. You can't look at legislation as "a start." Legislation is an end. No one is going to tinker under the hood, legislatively, once it passes. Passage commits 3/4 of a trillion dollars to this still-terrible plan. And if that doesn't work, what does Wall Street do? Come back for more?
If you had a sibling who was a gambler, and he said to you, "I can only kick my habit if you give me a couple thousand dollars, and in exchange I will try not to gamble," would you think this was a wise idea?
