Uh, isn''t that why they''re "elected" to "represent" their constituents.

Respectfully, the bailout is not the right thing to do. The hold-out Republicans may be saving our skins.

You misunderstand my sarcasm. I do not want ANY bailout for criminals, be it corportists or elected. But what I was saying is the redumblicans are doing is ACCIDENTLY pushing in sanity because they are up for reection. Otherwise, the would be pushing for $3 trillion without oversight.

Believe me, I am a blue liberal, but I will stand with something that is right, and those hold-out Republicans are doing the right thing.

I don''t think the Dems had a choice but to go along with the Bush Fix, and most of the Republicans went along with it. But now that there is a group of Republicans holding out for sanity, the Dems need to back them up and do the right thing too.

Every time Bush cries wolf it makes more problems for America than his scare tactics has ever fix. Paulson gets almost a trillion dollars to bail out the very company he has worked for. He and Bush are in bed together. And while McCain is hiding in plain sight in Washington, Obama readies for the real debates.

The Bush Fix is a fix, and the Urgency is Bush departing office in 40 days, not our free market, which cooler heads are already saying will right itself if allowed to.

If the facts and figures for the bailout are true,we are about to give 11 CEO''s 3.5 billion dollars in payouts and rewarding them for wrong doing or bad judgement.Their are only 330 million people in the U.S.,that''s more than enough money to give every American citizen $1 million dollars a piece.We just received a few months ago what the government called an economic stimulus package of $300.00-$1200.00 depending on your family situation,how is it that President can even ask to push a $700 Billion dollar bailout when we have this type of suffering in our homes.Families losing their homes,jobs,poor healthcarre and credit is shot.I would suggest that if we intend to stimulate the economy,give $1 million dollars to the households of America and see your country prosper and be happy.Not the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Why is a Lame Duck president trying to force the biggest tax bill in history down our throats? He''''s trying to cover his bets with his bunkies on Wall Street. Just look at who''''s running (ruining) the Treasury and the Federal Reserve; more Wall Street insiders.

Bush just wants the inevitable crash to be delayed until he is out of Office (just like Iraq), then he and the rest of the redumplicans (elected and voters alike) and point and say, ''See what those Democrats did!''
This noe-con group is just about the lowest life form on Earth, which they are trying to destroy too (Drill, baby, Drill).

Does anyone understand the ripple effect that will occur if Wall Street crashes hard? Remember the Great Depression, the crash of 87 or the crash of 2000? Posted by radiob2 at 09:47 AM : Sep 26, 2008

It depends on who you talk to, what the market is doing and what the after affects will be. But its just future-predicting, isn''t it?

The informational waters are so muddy and the screaming for immediate action (by those who have screamed before) is so loud, there can be no discussion or contemplation by those in Washington.

They are being forced to ACT NOW before too much analysis can be done and experts can weigh in.

Free market owned by the government? The government just "took over" another company last night?

The $700,000,000,000.00 Bailout is dead. The insurance plan offered up by the House Republicans is more feasible and won''''t leave the taxpayer holding the bag.

Not because it the right thing to do, but because they are running for re-election. Its like Occums Razor: The simpliest explaination is usually the correct one.
