Bobo, your blind partisanship is fucked up. It took BOTH sides of the House to vote this bill down, after a BIPARTISAN group wrote the fucking thing. The American people hated this bailout, and so some members of Congress actually voted against it. At least some people are listening to their voters, for once.

I'm curious how exactly you say that...well actually I'm not..cuz your partisanship is blinding as well.
The Dems delivered their promised votes... the Republicans DID NOT! what part of that escapes you people? This wasn't a Democratic Bill.... why should they take all the heat for passing what amounts to a band-aid that is completely necessary thanks in large part to THEIR fuck ups for the 12 years they WERE in control of Congress and the Bush administrations fuck ups over the last 8 years!
They agreed to go in on a bi-partisan basis and give equal support for the bill so that neither side could be held 100% responsible and the Repubs backed out.
Half the time Americans don't have a fucking clue what is needed to run this country so while all of you are sitting here whining and complaining small businesses are going to start folding because they can't get credit to continue their daily operations.
Every economist that's talked about this, regardless of their political views has said this IS paramount to our economic stability.
It's so fun watching them all squirming to be on the "right" side, I really don't care.
The market lost a trillion dollars of value today.
I wonder what it will lose tomorrow?
Here's one for my Congressman, Ralph Regula. I'll be mailing it to all his offices and handing it to him in person.

So you feel the government that CAUSED this mess should be the ones we allow to attempt to fix it with OUR money????? Throwing money at the banks that participated in preditory and subprime lending is a joke and a slap in the face of every American be them Dem or Rep. this economic crises has been in the works since 1979 and finally caught up to us this year. The ground work was placed in 1979, 1995, 1997, 2003, and again in 2005. Look up the legislature that wsa inacted and the fixes that were shot down. You may be surprised...... Who caused and why this happendRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... because why shouldn't you let the world economy crash?
I'm starting to believe that people who hate government shouldn't have a say in government cause it's that kind of irrational thought process that is making them terrified of doing ANYTHING.

This is exactly what I said the Gop would do. Create is fake crisis and then get the dems to take the blame. The dems knew that so only 66 percent of them voted for it. If it really is necessary, more republicans are going to have to sign on.
But then the gop will block any moves that will actually fix the problem. They'll want to give paulson no oversite, or not limit ceo pay, or whatever.
Basically, the gop will now work to make this deal as unfair as possible, and blame the dems either way.
I say this bill is bulshit and the dems are smart to give some now and some later, because obama will fire paulson next yr and reform wallstreet via putting those regulations back.
But I am furious that the majority of them signed this bill. But I still know this is the gop's doing.
ps. Didn't both mccain and obama sign it? I guess you should stay home in november. or bob barr. or nader.
For quite some time its been common knowledge that many companies are extremely overvalued. The revaluation or Mark to Market of these companies may appear to represent Trillions of dollars of lose but, is it really? If so, how can that be, given they were overvalued to begin with?
Does anybody remember a couple of years ago when all the talking heads, like Cramer and the rest of the CNN gang, were espousing how companies like Goldman Sacks, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and the like were printing presses of the USD? Well, neither the Treasury nor the FED informed them that they werent authorized to print money. Consequently, whats happening now was (and will be, after the passage of the EESA Bill) inevitable and many on Wall St., as well as, the US government knew it.
Ive said it before and Ill say it again: The EESA Bill WILL become law. The only question is: how much more it will cost US? Is short, the people who own the majority of the wealth in this country will fight with all their financial might to see that their wealth does not get redistributed. Wouldnt you?
So what you're saying is that after 7 years of Chimpler McBushburton the dems are STILL more retarded than Bush and fell yet again for another nefarious Rovian plot.This is exactly what I said the Gop would do. Create is fake crisis and then get the dems to take the blame. The dems knew that so only 66 percent of them voted for it...
this sounds just like the crybaby you are picking on me rants that go on in Washington. Democrats need to grow up and learn that in order to get along with and work with people it means you might have to stop with the partisanship.
I am going to respectfully disagree, Chris... The market didn't 'loose' anything. The companies behind the stocks are still at their addresses and the forklifts are still forking in the factory buildings. If they were quality, productive companies last week then the odds are good that they will be quality, productive companies next year.
It is the prices of things that are adjusting, not the value. Capital assets like factories and transportation equipment are still worth something. Yes, wages are going to have to adjust too and that is going to hurt, especially for people not willing to negotiate in reality, but even if unemployment hits 10%, that still leaves 90% of us working.
The stock market will be back as long as we don't fly headlong into infrastructure destroying anarchy, and if that happens, who cares if you have $100 bills or stock certificates to line your clothes with to keep warm?
I hate this bailout and I am ashamed that 66% of the Democrats voted for it. I truly believe that's what this is all about. Only 33% of the GOP voted for it, so they come off looking like good guys.

My republican buddy just said the market is going to do great today.
