Richard Kogan, a federal budget expert at the nonprofit Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, says that buying all those bad assets creates "the greatest possibility of giving the taxpayers a bath." But it also makes for quick and easy implementation. "When you go to a financial institution and say, 'We'd like to buy your bad assets,' they're going to say, 'Let's sit down and talk right this minute.'
