The final straw came when the Dems inserted a provision to provide ACORN with 20% of the profit from government sale of the securities the Treasury had purchased. To make it even worse, this 20% calculation did not even include an offset for securities for which the government had a loss.
Naturally, Barnie Frank and Chris Dodd were screaming bloody murder when the Repubs refused to allow this payoff to ACORN.
I may die poor, but at least I’ll die free!
