i know some people may disagree, but i don't think a bailout of 700billion dollars of money that doesn't quite exist should be approved.

No anduhrew, your right, a depression is better. Let everyone suffer because of the extreme greed and exploitation of the financial sector.

No credit.......no business,...no jobs.....no homes....no cars

I'll watch that movie with a completely new appreciation for George Bailey and the Bailey Building and Loan Association.

If the LA Times numbers were right, WAMU lost $16 billion in deposits in two weeks. I guess they needed George to tell everyone to just take what they needed rather than emptying their accounts.

We're seeing history being made!

The new plan passed. It sounds a lot better. let's hope they use the money to have some co-ownership of those banks instead of buying up junk.
