It's showing how one person (sec of the treasury) is running everything as a monarchy, or in other words by himself. The bailout was caused by the government forcing banks they made (Fannie Mae) to give out loans to people with bad/no credit. This is basically a bandaid. Over 166 college economics teachers including ones from Harvard have said that this bailout is not a good idea. Ignorance on congress' part.
