The main point to hold out for is the controls on what the big businesses must do to get the bail-out money. History has already told us that we can not trust these companies to "do the right thing." Giving all discretion to the President is also a complete non-starter.

Also right. I mean with increasing self-quarantine of Congresspeople, who knows when another bill can be passed. In a month will there be enough for a quorum?
Besides, both sides are confident that they will have a deal tonight. These things can be negotiated pretty danged quickly when they want.
