I certainly don't, but I'll speculate. First, he hates the idea that he'll lose control of the handouts to friends and stiff arm to opponents if the act makes it public knowledge that Company W will do X, and Company Y will do Z. That may be the primary reason, but a second one also appeals. If he makes that move, he owns the crisis 100%. Up to now, he's been pointing at the governors as the ones responsible. He'll blame them for every failure, though he'll move to the front of the line if credit is due.
Typical behavior.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
