This arrogant jerk figured he would just say; "Give me all your money, don't ask any questions, don't expect any answers, just stick em up and do it right now or the world will end tomorrow." And, given the way our representatives usually "protect" us, I'm surprised they didn't give it to him. Luckily it is an election year and enough reps finally got the clue that they would be looking for a new job if they bowed down on this one. Now let's see if they have the guts to stick to it. Here is a hint boys and girls. Watch out after elections. Cause they'll bring this puppy back when they figure it will be safe for everyone to vote yes on it.

They're putting it up to vote again on Thursday in the House. Wednesday in the Senate. It ain't over, but it doesn't matter.

I just finished watching CNN and Ben Stein was one of the guests. He was great. Basically he summed it up nicely. Paulsin has screwed up for 8 years, totally missed the lehmans collapse, and now wants total Czar like power to dole out our money in the remaining time of Bush's administration.

With the "rescue plan" our country would have invested $700 billion of which alot would have been made back. Our congress rejected this for political reasons.

Our markets wiped out 1.3 TRILLION toay. That is from teacher pensions, union pensions IRAs and 401ks and mutual funds

So the "NO solution" vote as already cost us almost twice as much and it's only been one day!

Your wrong, the free market will work the way its supposed to, the bad, weak companies will get taken by the stronger companies, who will lead the way. The market doesnt always go up.

Agreed, obviously some people don't know that, and think they are entitled to a never ending bull market. The stock market has been overvalued for a long time, as has housing prices.

I don't feel sorry for that POS Paulson one bit. He along w/ Bernanke and SEC Chairmen Cox should have seen this coming a long time ago. They failed, and they should be fired just like all these greedy execs that have ran their companies' into the the ground by issueing these bad mortgages, w/out their golden parachutes.
