bailouts ought to come with leverage either as a loan/bond (at fed rates) or a capital investment. I agree! and then the company can either buy the government out or repay the loan. it strikes me as fair.
now hear me out: that fund that the government owns? all those stocks and bonds?
if you are an elected official, you gotta sell your stocks, your bonds, your etfs, everything. then you invest in the government fund. they're gonna fuck around to boost those stocks anyways, so let's have a set that we know.
then make an ETF for us plebes that follows it that we can invest in if we want to follow their inside trading.
