If you are asking about the Sept 2008 bank bailout, here is the answer.

Bush administration wants to pay more than the price a pool of mortgages is worth on the open market.

This is in esssence a gift to bankers. Think of a mutual fund or stock you have bought and lost money on the investment. The banks and stock brokers made bad investments on sub-prime mortgages, and now want the taxpayers to give them free money to bail them out. If that happens, why doesn't the government give you a check to bail you out over that stock you bought that went down in price?

Will smaller banks who are not receiving bailout funds be worried that it will weaken their financial position so that the bigger banks find them more vulnerable to buyouts and takeovers?

Yes, smaller banks not receiving bailout funds may indeed be concerned that their financial stability could be perceived as weaker, making them more vulnerable to buyouts and takeovers by larger banks. The lack of support could signal to the market that they are at a higher risk, potentially undermining their competitive position. This situation may encourage larger banks to pursue acquisitions, viewing smaller institutions as opportunities to expand their market share. Overall, the perception of risk and financial health will influence both the behavior of smaller banks and the strategies of larger ones.
