    The Bailout Bill Just Failed - Not Passed

    Fuck off greedy fucks.

    Fucking Dems mostly voted for it.
    Most Rep voted against it.

    Imagine that.

    Wow, now things are getting interesting.
    No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.

                    Stock market is down 700 pts.

                    I don't think the voting is over yet. What happens if this thing doesn't pass? Don't they know it could be a lot worse trouble for them than paying some extra taxes?

                          its over.

                          time remaining 0:00

                          One vote left to cast is what CNN just said.

                          226 NAY
                          207 YAY

                          can't happen.

                                    On CNN and now MSNBC. They reported that time remaining to vote is over. One person was left to cast and that the vote is 226 to 207 with the bill not passing.

                                        Its trouble for all, not just them and not just the US. Our economy is global and if the US fails most will follow very quickly,

                                        Hypo Real Estate Holding AG (Germany)
                                        Glitnir Bank (Iceland)
                                        Fortis (Belgium)
                                        Bradford & Bingley's (Britian)

                                        All are in the process of being bailed out by their respective governments

                                          John McCain is a Senator... they don't vote until Wed. and the vote probably won't happen.

                                            My count is 94 nay for dems and 66 yea from repubs. That means that the dems are the ones that made the bill fail to me. Why couldn't the dems get on board with each other over it? They only needed a handful of votes.

                                              If they had put something in that bill to help the poor slobs facing foreclosure, I'd then think it was a bad thing that it didn't pass.

                                              But, they didn't

                                              There's something not quite right about throwing regular people out onto the street while at the same time bailing out all the fat cats.

                                                      We are witnessing history
                                                      Politicians just listened to the voters for the first time in years. Maybe enough people slammed the phone lines and showed their disgust for this bloated pig of a bill.

It might ease things temporarily, but it's time we as a nation were bitch slapped when it comes to the economy. Some bandaid thing and we'll be business as usual within a year.

                                                                                    I don't want a depression anymore than anyone else, but somewhere, sometime, we have to be accountable for poor choices, both on the individual level and on a corporate one.

                                                                                      Because the dems totally had the ability to make it pass regardless of the republicans.

It might ease things temporarily, but it's time we as a nation were bitch slapped when it comes to the economy. Some bandaid thing and we'll be business as usual within a year.

                                                                                                  I don't want a depression anymore than anyone else, but somewhere, sometime, we have to be accountable for poor choices, both on the individual level and on a corporate one.
                                                                                                  You nailed it. I feared if they passed this because it would send a strong signal that irresponsibility is okay. Not only will we lose our houses over corporate greed, but we will then PAY THEM for their mistakes.

                                                                                                  So we lose our houses and whatever else we have left? WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!

Better that it happens this way..get rid of the biz cant float say bye byee...thats a free market. Fuck em. Do you want a 50 year depression or a 5? I think its fucking great. Finally a bipartisan action.
