Are you kidding? You think the government will give investors 8% ?
That might be what they cut themselves based on a backstop arrangement. Investors will be lucky to get 3%, and that'll be taxed! None of those Dems speaking (Waters or Brown) will be willing to give up any profit to an investor when they can give away freebies to making affordable racially centered housing.

They do not understand the very basic but all important aspect of giving someone a fish opposed to teaching someone to fish.

Yes
I too want a utility model -- return average between 10 year bond and equity over time with high dividends ---- and solid dividend increases year after year and sort of regulated minimum profit

but

Did the Calhoun plan kill the SP and LP ? Or does it too assume that this mega billions (200B?) is still owed and would convert the SP/LP to common ?

along with nothing changing for 100 years - the largest fear is a conversion of the LP/SP to common and then reverse spilt that takes our 100 shares to 1 share each

IMO WTS are great way for GOV to cap total stock at 5B - raise capital - and we have 25 a share
