Actually, how about it? A 2 trillion loan, with a 0% interest rate period and than a going up to something reasonable (I don't know what that is, 5%?).

I'm not hearing anything, is that right?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

It looks to me like the banking situation is being sorted no matter the bailout plan. As stated above, a half dozen or so banks were plummeting before the vote.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Unfortunatly a lot of the public opinion against a "giveaway" doesn't realize that banks failing is going to cause a lot more problems for them than they realize.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

The vote failed!
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Given the mass sentiment against the bailout, the longer it takes for them to bring it to a vote, the less chance there is of it passing.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

All they have to do is free up 30 Blue Dogs and RSCers and they'll have it. There's any number of amendments that could be offered that could flip them. If they're willing to hold the vote open an extra 20 to 30 minutes, that means the Dems will be strongarming people like there's no tomorrow and that they'll expect Boehner and Blunt to do the same (although word is that Blunt wasn't whipping that hard).Originally posted by Comrade Snuggles

Edit:
Pete Hoekstra twittered that the GOP didn't have the votes before they went in and they voted on it anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the GOP leadership wanted to tank this version of the bailout.Last edited by Timexwatch; September 29, 2008, 15:16.If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

I don't like the bailout as written since it lacks consumer/home owner protections but we do need some kind of bailout as right now we're in a credit crunch which will cause lots of economic problems.Originally posted by Comrade Snuggles

Yep... it's a necessarily evil, IMO.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
