Throw in a round of mandatory voluntary participation like the banks had. Not all off the big banks that were bailed out wanted to be partially nationalized, but non-partcipation was not allowed.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ford being required to participate in the auto bailout because if they didn't take the money it would make GM and Chrysler look bad.

If that were the case, you would’ve thought some red blooded, capitalist bank CEO who wanted his stock to go to the moon would’ve filed suit against the regulator, so as not to be compelled.

I am still amazed at the lack of legal actions being filed against this.
