Not so fast Chief.

I hate this place! I hate this place! I hate this place! The government is letting these companies off the hook! Once I read the bill maybe I'll have a better understanding of how they're going to appropriate funds in the bailout but it just isn't right, and I can almost guarantee that no matter how much posturing those clowns in the House do the tax payers are coming out of pocket. THERE SHOULD BE NO BAILOUT! No one knows what's going to happen to the economy. This is all fanatical, on the verge of being manic, speculation. And we all know how the American media is obsessed with controversy and creating panic (nothing gets better ratings). Remember Y2K?

Ron Paul has it right!

My views on government are classically Republican (even though I have no political party affiliation). I don't necessarily agree with their social or fiscal policies but I like the idea of a small federal government. Most of these Republicans now-a-days are Reagan Republicans can't control their spending and can't keep the government a heart-beat away from Socialism. I know these fuckers are going to be proud of the fact they passed this bill (It's inevitably going to pass the House). Congress, along with the CEO's of Big Business, are at fault! Everyone in Congress needs to stop finger pointing because Congress hasn't done shit these past eight years but let a fool run rucksack in the White House and let greed engulf Wall Street. What the hell happened to the checks and balances? I guess they were all in line at the check cashing place. Lobbyist do pay well. I bet Bush got a call from his homies on Wall Street and they was like "Get Paulson and the FED to bail us out. You're term is almost over put it on Barack and the foolish tax payers!"

I wonder why it isn't considered stealing when it's "in the best interest of the country?" I feel like I'm being robbed. I'm being pimped. I have to pay to get fucked!



Senate passes bailout

Plan to buy $700B in troubled assets wins OK. Backers hope add-ons will yield more yes-votes in House.


By Jeanne Sahadi, CNNMoney.com senior writer

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Senate on Wednesday night passed a sweeping and controversial financial bailout similar in key ways to one rejected by the House just two days earlier.

The measure was passed by a vote of 74 to 25 after more than three hours of floor debate in the Senate. Presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, and John McCain, R-Arizona, voted in favor.

Like the bill the House rejected, the core of the Senate bill is the Bush administration's plan to buy up to $700 billion of troubled assets from financial institutions.

Those assets, mostly mortgage-related, have caused a crisis of confidence in the credit markets. A major aim of the plan is to free up banks to start lending again once their balance sheets are cleared of toxic holdings.

But the Senate legislation also includes a number of new provisions aimed at Main Street.

The changes are intended to attract more votes in the House, in particular from House Republicans, two-thirds of whom voted against the bailout plan.
