  What did they cave in 'to?' What changes were made from the original request of Paulen/bush? Were taxpayer protections put in? Does Palen get a blank check? Will wall street have to pay taxpayers back? Anyone seen the revision?

    I hear they did away with Section 8. At least I hope they did.

      Oh yes, no oversight. Well, that's a good thing. Nice of them to share with voters what they're doing. Or maybe they have, and I missed it.

        Is someone just going along giving negatives, or am I missing something here?

        Cons, they always do. Ignore them and keep speaking your mind. Don't let them discourage you.

        They are the ones that wanted more control and accountability. At the start the Democrats were going along with the Bush proposal. Then McCain said they should listen to the House Republicans. Then the email came in 100 to 1 against it as it stood. I guess McCain was right again. Too bad libs.

        Are you in your right mind? "Too bad libs?" You really don't get any of this, do you.

      Still, the resolution could be vetoed by the president, meaning it would take extra-large congressional majorities to stop it.>>>>
      
      So oversight is subject to veto's? And compensation of over $500,000 is subject to stiff taxes? How stiff? This means CEO's could walk away with millions in taxpayer dollars, even after paying 'stiff taxes' with money that isn't theirs anyway? I've got a headache.

        But the government will own the mortgages. We want the government to be in the mortgage business don't we. Just look at all the foreclosures we can get and then own a lot of homes.

        At least taxpayers would have some collateral for their money.

    the very worst part of all these lies relate to speed, with bush and paulson lying about total doom if congress doesn't act immediately.
    
    so all day and night sunday, the scribes are going to be writing the details of the bill, and monday, congress is expected to pass it. once again, they will be voting on something none of them have had time to even read, much less think about, or amend.
    
    this still stinks to high heaven.

    That's interesting.I've got to see the final draft to see where it says that the ACLU is entitled to receive some of the 700 billion.

      Profit from selling the houses, not buying the houses, is what I had said!
      
      Interesting... I also hate KooL Aid, that saved me in Jones Town
