Maybe... but it seems as though these provisions are being discussed and enacted ex-post, which is not terribly effective in my mind. It's not reasonable to loan money to private companies without stipulations, but then to impose conditions after the money has already been loaned. Perhaps this is a side effect of jamming through the TARP (and such) legislation so quickly.
