Say goodbye to your money taxpayers! That bill is going to pass tomorrow. :(
 

I'm saying it now. They've had 3 days to get to the people that they need to influence.

:(:(

Say goodbye. :(

When the first bill went to vote it was chaos and un-organization. They're prepared this time.


The gears of political corruption are hard at work to push that bill through.

I hope I'm wrong.

Taxes? Never heard of it, sorry :(

When you said say goodbye to your money, I thought Obama got elected

Maybe Obama should do as every republican president have, instead of raising taxes borrow money so it will cost you more later.

More in you're pocket, a lot more in debt.

Isn't it supposed to be paid back and even possible that money will actually be made on this deal?

Makes me want to get punched in the nads.

You did hear that the stock market lost over 1 trillion the day the bill was defeated right? Good thing we saved 700 billion :Oh crap

Yes, but it's just as likely to not help at all. It could become the same situation as the war in Iraq - a hand always out, looking for more money.

heard the first deal it was looking that way

with teh idea that the market goes up of course

That was 1 trillion INVESTOR dollars, which are always at risk, not TAXPAYER dollars.

Investors are also tax payers. Your average joes mutual Funds, IRAs, 401k's, all felt and will continue to feel the pain if something isn't done.

I don't agree with the plan but I do know something needs to be done soon. The credit markets are barely on life support. This puts the taxpayer at risk in one way or another if something isn't done.

The Federal Reserve started printing the money to pay for this before the first bill came up to vote.

They talk about how over time these assets could become worth more than the $700B purchase price, but nobody talks about the inflation caused by printing that kind of money.

1 trillion in fake investments on money nobody collects, or will get, has, or will ever collect, other than a minor % vs. 700 billion coming out of every tax payers pocket, which will devalue our dollar, far worse than a fake 1 trillion dollar market drop ever could, which we clearly see did nothing to the average person.

Are the U.S. feds borrowing the entire $700 billion from a single country - or are they spreading the debt around to several foreign lands?

Just curious. :1orglaugh

They are hitting print on a machine and saying we have 700b more now. Which really means our dollar gets devalued by 700b more.

They should have just asked everyone to return the stimulus package checks with a 20% increase back (tax) to cover this bailout.

Whatever. Just print more money!

fucked twice a false war and fucked up market people going homeless

And both Presidential candidates voted for it :(:(:(

We really are sunk without Ron Paul:2 cents:

Billo just popped a vein interviewing Barney Frank, slamming him for being a part of what created this mess.

Fact is, if they had stepped in and put a stop to these sub prime home loans, the housing market would have prematurely went down and Americans would have been furious with congress for fucking with how private banks choose to loan their money.

Remember, we are a country where men don't start watching what they eat until they have a heart attack. This applies to all aspects of American life.

I told you so.
