Wow, this is the worst congress we've ever had in US History. And the sadest thing is, they just pin it on the Republicans and then get out scotch free. Very very VERY sad. I hope that Nancy Pelosi gets back handed by Obama when she makes him lose the election.

I think you are wrong Laser. Like always 90% + will return because it's 'not MY representative that's screwing things up, it's YOURS.'

Well, I can actually say thats true. Both Alabama Senators voted NO. I'm actually glad I emailed them my thoughts, short and concise, on the subject.

Later in the day I switched from media to CSPAN and watched Shelby give the Dems what for on the subject. He was the chair on banking a few years back and tried to get the reforms in place but was stymied by the Dems just like they did in the house in 04. Sad for us...

I am still trying to get the extra pork details on this bill... there was a provision for buying archery equipment for kids... that doesnt seem so bad... they will need a skill to be able to eat when these bozos are done

Here's a start.

Let's look at a couple of things in the bill.


SEC. 503. EXEMPTION FROM EXCISE TAX FOR CERTAIN WOODEN ARROWS DESIGNED FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

SEC. 504. INCOME AVERAGING FOR AMOUNTS RECEIVED IN 20 CONNECTION WITH THE EXXON VALDEZ LITIGATION.

SEC. 316. RAILROAD TRACK MAINTENANCE.

SEC. 317. SEVEN-YEAR COST RECOVERY PERIOD FOR MOTORSPORTS RACING TRACK FACILITY.

SEC. 309. EXTENSION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CREDIT FOR AMERICAN SAMOA.

SEC. 401. PERMANENT AUTHORITY FOR UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS.

Awesome.Perhaps someone smarter than me can explain what any of these have to do with a bailout.

[Mr No Name]

yep, that's payoffs

tie 100 pnd lead weights to their ankles and drop them off the Brooklyn bridge.  Each and every one of them.

[Charon]

They just can't help it.

I heard they are all chomping at the bit to get back to their campaigs for the election, and just put some lipstick on the house pig to bribe it's way through. They will be hiding under the unverifiable "The tone of the calls changed" mantra and hope things improve before Nov. 4 so they have another term for the voters to forget what happened.

what a disgrace.

lead is expensive. and i really don't want any more fecal matter in the east river.

using them for enriching tree chipper mulch would be beneficial to the environment.

TERM LIMITS!!

they do not listen to us - they are busy repaying their buds who keep getting them reelected

TERM LIMITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after the house gets done with it today it'll be over 9 billion ... why not? don't they deserve another billion of pork for their buddies?

I keep saying it: We need to fire everyone in Washington and start from scratch.

Nope. While they're in session, we need to show up with steel bars, steel flat stock, and welders. We'll just build us a prison around them that is in keeping with their thievery.
