The World is watching us...

Will USA Senate pass the rescue bill tonight?

[Hangtime]

I hope not.

And, could care less what the world thinks.

[Mr No Name]

i hope not... screw the world, we need to think about ourselves and pass legislation that will free the market to fix the problem themselves, with their own money.

[indy007]

Isn't a bill supposed to uhm... pass through the House before it gets to the Senate?

[Hangtime]

usually, that's the path. knowing how much respect the two bodies have for each other gives me hope this will wind up in a hopeless morass.

Do you want the world to lose confidence on USA economy?

[Mickey1992]

I hope it does not pass.  And most of the people at cnn.com agree.

any bills have to originate in the house then go to the senate for approval but to speed up the process the senate and house both make their versions of the same bills and then get together to work out the final bill.

what part of 'I could care less what the world thinks' did you not grasp?

[Sixpence]

All I know is that the longer this goes on, the lower oil drops, keep up the good work.

I prefer not to permanently cripple the already crippled U.S. economy to impress anyone or to gain their respect.

[DYNAMITE]

I don't really want the bailout... but i do want more regulation.

I am nervous about how the market will react without the bailout though...

[DREDIOCK]

Just curious.
How much exactly less could you care?
I mean if you could care less then there is still a certain amount of caring left in you.
So exactly how much less could you care before you couldnt care any less?

 

Screw the bailout as it now is. from what I saw. there are too many Christmas tree items attached.

It will be cruel if it doesn't pass.  It has to pass for the good of the nation and the world.

It ain't the market you need to be worrying about or watching.
