Details of how these schemes would work are vague. Democrats said the brand-new costs would provide Mnuchin and the Fed overall discretion about how the money would be distributed, with little transparency or oversight. They criticized the proposal as a "slush fund," which Mnuchin and Donald Trump could use to bail out favored business. News outlets reported that the federal government wouldn't even need to identify the aid receivers for up to six months. On Monday, Mnuchin pressed back, saying individuals had misinterpreted how the Treasury-Fed partnership would work. He may have a point, but even in parts of the Fed there may not be much interest for his proposition.
