That's the problem with the majority of the voters. My opinion is that it did not hold tight enough on the ideas of fiscal accountability with this plan. There needs to be tons of oversight, financial tightening of the belts (particularly things like salary and company expenses), and a economically plausible way for the government to gain some vested interest in the companies for all of the money spent (With strict guidelines as to how these vested interests can be used for the government, specifically that they can only be used to give tax cuts directly back to the people).
