Bailout: Meetings Continue
Not much new except a new thread...
According to the WSJ the meeting started at 3PM ET with four negotiators: Senators Dodd (D-Connecticut) and Gregg (R-New Hampshire), and Congressman Frank (D-Massachusetts) and Blunt (R-Missouri).
The story notes that the Treasury is pushing for a larger initial installment ($500 billion as opposed to $250 billion). Also the insurance idea might be included as optional, although I think everyone realizes no one will be interested.
