| My congressman voted against it after saying he would vote for it this morning. I don't think this bill is perfect and I'm not going to say I understand all the underlying reasons either. However credit for people who are good credit risks is drying up. My measly retirement fund probably took another hit today and I'm almost afraid to look at it.
The media also played it wrong in constantly saying it was a bail out while technically the majority of the money would shore up the banks that were still solvent.
Now we have partisan politics -the Republicans want the capital gains tax ended, blah, blah, blah. It's a pretty sad state of affairs. __________________ "Finally, A guy who says what people who aren't thinking are thinking" - Jon Stewart on CNN & ABC host Glenn Beck |
