Frankly, when I read about this, it triggered my PTSD from the AIG situation with credit default swaps during the financial crisis.
I have been amused for a long time at how can it be that there is legislation supported by 70 or 80 percent of the public, a clear majority of Members of Congress, and yet we are not allowed to even vote on it.
