        Yes, it is absolute nonsense!
        For those of you who believe that 700 billion will do the job: Rule of thumb for government estimates. Double the estimate for the first six months, triple for the next six month period, 33.5 percent for each following six month periods attributed to unforeseen inflation adjustments and cost overruns .But we are already at 1.8 trillion. Know when to hold'em know when to fold'em know when to walk away!NO BAILOUT!

        Subject: Messages to Congress running as high as 300 to 1 against the bailout
        Continue to rail against the storm! Voting power!

          Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it nonsense. Everything is verifiable. So close your eyes and ears and hear what you want.

          That is one person's opinion. Anyone can put together a film of half truths to sway opinion. That's how propaganda works.
          All the Republicans do is point fingers at the Democrats when they had complete control of this country for 6 years. Why didn't they do something about it then instead of pointing fingers at things that happened 30 years ago? Because they can't take responsibility. That why. Everything was going fine until energy prices hit the roof and the dollar deflated in value because of Republican's spending on the Iraq war and Haliburton.

            Actually, the demand for food internationally skyrocketed at the same time as energy prices spiked. The Republicans didn't controll the international factors. Actually, the Dems are voting to continue spending money on Iraq.

                The CRA was responsible for rebuilding many communities and not just the black neighborhoods as you would like to point out. Republicans make it out as an act to force loans to blacks but that was not the only purpose of it. nuff said.

                  You are right, and it worked for a while, but some community organizers (Obama) started suing the banks to force them to make risky loans.

                    Yeah and some people like the Bush family just stole the money directly from the Savings and Loan. That doesn't bother you now does it.

                WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER verses pointing a finger?

                We elected these people -- the Dems have been pulling the strings for the past two years, we had 911, war on terror, Katrina, the world tilted 2 degrees, global warming, God ripped out of the schools and a good standard of living for the past 220 plus years. Now all of a sudden - it is pay day and no one wants to write a check! I am going to pray more for our leaders, work harder to give to the poor and needy more, cut my life style back to what is necessary to make my life fit in what we are being dealt and move forward very carefully.

                What are you going to do? G1

                  "We elected these people -- the Dems have been pulling the strings for the past two years"
                  Funny you didn't mentioned the Republicans pulling all the strings for the previous 6 years that these things happened. Why didn't the Republican congress pass laws to put God back in schools? Because they play the religious right for fools.
                  I just wish you guys would make up your mind. Do you want the bill passed or not? Personally I myself don't give a hoot.

                  You have no idea what this is about and your comment only shows how uninformed you are about the subject. You know how the saying goes, "it''s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and prove it.

                    Yeah, you've proved that in your comments. ROFLMAO

                      The Democrats have had hold of the House & Senate for the past two years. The number of Democrats exceed the number of Republicans. How can you say the Republicans are in control? They can't get anything passed.

                      Warner Bros have pulled it. I just hope they put it back on without the music. That was the best description of this mess I have seen anywhere.

                        If you really want to see what caused this mess, watch Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11". That's where it started.
