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.

Yah. I bet the market crashes hard as fuck today because of it.

im beautiful

lol you see how they tried pass it with just they "aye vs. no" yell-out. then someone was like "hell naw..."

omg $ is dumed!

Time Remaining: 0:00

Bush and his neocons are crying right now :thumbsup:thumbsup

yah dollar is fucked now.

should i go take my money out of the bank?

:(

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?

TOTAL ANARCHY ON CNBC!!! TURN IT ON!!!



WE GOT TO GO TO OIL TOO, IT IS PLUNGING"

"OH MY GOD"

"THE DOW IS TANKING"

:1orglaugh

its over.

time remaining 0:00

One vote left to cast is what CNN just said.

226 NAY
207 YAY

can't happen.

Is the NV - Not Voting JOHN MCCAIN??? :)

Hey A1R3K where did you see the vote finished?

It's stuck on TV with worms wriggling in the background

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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 :disgust

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.

Thank god.... maybe there is salvation after all.

voting's over! congrats to the winners

Oh, man it's over. It didn't pass. WTF?!

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.

Dow down over 500 points wow! another Black Monday

gonna get interesting just about now.. worldwide.

was down close to 700 so it seems there is some pullback

where are you seeing those numbers?

How is it the Dems fault when 133 Republicans voted against it too?

why the fuck would anyone in their right mind want this thing to pass?

On tv. Was on cnn. Showed total counts. That was the count at the gavel that I saw.

let it fail, banks own fault.

down 500 pointsssssssssssss

If they have a vested interest in some of the funds- directly or indirectly (lobbyists)

Oddly... the republicans just saved this country from a major ass raping.... for now.

i have no idea if it is true i am no economist.

but wouldnt the less printed money ie $700billion make it better for the dollar?

can anyone explain this.

because we can't have the financial pillars of our country collapse. Last time something like this happened a huge depression followed.

dow is down around 1000 now i heard.

I know that I am a dumbass when it comes to financial things, but I can't see how a bailout will solve anything. 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.

The measure needs 218 votes for passage. Democrats voted 141 to 94 in favor of the plan, while Republicans voted 65 to 133 against. That left the measure with 206 votes for and 227 against.


So if Dems would of voted another 30 for they could of easily passed it.

i would rather have the pillars collapse than have those fucking bastards that caused this line their pockets again. some of the things that were written into that bill are absolute bullshit.

the dollar was going to tank anyway, the damage was already done, the 700 billion would of just delayed the damage untill a later date but with much more impact. overall it is good the bill didnt get passed

through his ideological blinders.

can't they run it through again, but this time they can hold guns to heads of about 10 democrats and 10 republicans who voted "nay" in the first pass?

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?!

That was going to happen anyways. 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. :thumbsup
