Well there goes "free market"

Bush Team, Congress Haggle Over $700B Bailout

Lawmakers on both extremes of the political spectrum assailed the plan as a massive, poorly conceived bailout. Conservative House Republicans and liberal House Democrats both huddled privately Monday to express their concerns, and they were drafting their own legislative alternatives.

"Poorly conceived", I'd say taking a large portion of a "free market" and putting it under government control is "poorly conceived"...maybe more like idiotic!
