The point here is that the treasury would benefit from gains, while the banks and investors would pay for losses, which provide the state with revenues earned instead of taxes, and end socialization of losses. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1597659345676029952

Questions: (a) why aren’t debt originators (who price it) required to hold it, or at least a large portion of it? (b) selling shares in it. (b) If Govt is lending and insuring, why isn’t it maintaining an interest? (c) and why wouldn’t that provide a system of measurement?
