Well, the Senate just approved the revised bailout package. Back to the House - let's hope they don't fumble the ball again...

The House didn't 'fumble the ball.' What they did was react to an overwhelming outcry by their constituents not to pass it. Reports say that phone calls to many house members were running 200 to 1 against passage.
Bullshit. Those provisions were written by the Republicans. The bill was supposed to be bipartisan, because nobody wants to take sole credit for it. The GOP backed out in an attempt to hang the albatross on the Democrat's necks, so they could blame them.
Political bullshit. Both parties were pieces of shit, and it's incredibly naive to think that the house decided for the first time ever to listen to their constituents. Everyone knew the bill was going to get passed in some way shape or form.
I'm still not sure about this thing being passed, even if it is all new and improved. I think wall street needs to go bust, and we all need to just suck it up and scrape thru this tooth and nail. This country needs to wake up, and pull its head out of its ass! Life is more than having new shiney expensive things and living well beyond your means.
Wall Street is already 'bust.' This package is about you and me; everybody. This isn't a windstorm where we all sing KUMBAYA and help one another pick up branches. This is the vitality of our economy, and each of us working.

LOL Working? Wtf is working? I couldn't find work to save my life. Apparently having a job is now a luxery in this country
It will get worse if the package doesn't pass. I promise. I wish you the best in finding something; but I regretfully submit that it will be infinitely more difficult if this rescue plan isn't approved.
It will get worse if the package passes. I promise.
It will get worse if the package passes. I promise.
What would make you believe that? Think of 10 people you know, and think of how many of them need credit in their lives.

You're wrong.
Seriously....how often do you see me and Starinvestor agreeing on anything? That should tell you something.
Ok....both of you.........please (peacefully lol) explain why you think it will get better or worse. Right now I'm leaning towards letting the economy go to total shit, and us rebuilding it back up from scratch.

Personally, I can think of far more people who are leveraged to the hilt and living way beyond their means... they only "need" it because they've become accustomed to getting it. The bailout treats the symptom, not the disease.What would make you believe that? Think of 10 people you know, and think of how many of them need credit in their lives.
