The excellent Mish Shedlock explains why this should be called the "Lender Bailout Plan."
But no one was expecting anything else, were they? It's a mortgage bailout plan put forward by the Bush administration.

On the other hand, this bailout could give us a solid Christmas rally, and since the government is implicitly promising lower interest rates, that should drive the dollar lower and gold, silver and oil higher.
