So is total and complete failure on top of billions of debt tossed on the backs of the taxpayers. This bailout does not guarantee anything other than our money being transferred to the very people who got us in this mess (banks and irresponsible home buyers).

I don't want the democrats to include anything in this bill. I don't want the republicans to include anything in this bill. I don't want anybody to tinker with this bill. I just want all of them to finally have the courage to stand up and say; "Take this bill and shove it. NO WAY."

I agree 700billion percent. However, I know that Congress will pass some legislation that will benefit the same people that caused the problem because that's what they do.

There should be some corporate and personal "blood" on the streets - that is free market. Else, we will never learn.
I hope people do not encourage warmongers - the Iraqi war that was not needed cost us a trillion - 30% less than the $700 billion they are asking for.
An informed electorate is a good thing.

This bill is nothing more the government take over of corporations and future Government control of industries. Socialism if you will.
Normally the company would go under suffer the much needed CAUSE AND EFFECT of BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES and then be replaced by something else.
LIFE goes on, americans still have some freedom and low taxes and we arent controlled and run by the socialist idealogy and propoganda in the media and congress to SAVE US!!!
