The only thing they smelled was defeat in their congressional elections if they had to support a bill which basically confirms that thier deregulation policies went way too far."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

Looks like there is also an American Civil war between Wall Street and Washington to see who really run tings.
Wall Street may engineer a few more big company failures and a few stock market 500 point drops (to scare the middle class with thier 401ks) and then see if Washington still have the balls to vote against this bill when them change the name , tweak a few things and put it back up for vote."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

The Govt needs to be given EQUITY for the bail out money.
It seems that the Banks want free money and have the taxpayers hold the junk.
Dat caan work?? Look at Wash Mutual...JPM/Chase get to cheery pick and the taxpayer get what the duck get. How is that fair? How does that stop the banks from doing the same damn thing later on?
Donkey seh world nuh lebble!
Any bailout must put the taxpayer in a position to BENEFIT from the RISK of bailout out these ****************************s!

Willi that is a reasonable argument but that is not the problem most of the House Republicans have with it.
For many of them the govt taking equity would be even worse! That would be (gasp) socialism!! Give me capitalism in its pure form or give me death, they cry!
Some are voting against the govt getting involved in the free market in any shape or form, and others realise they cannot easily explain the issue to the average voter so thay are simply "against the bailout", regardless of what the terms are."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

Eminent domain is in force here. Crisis time, but I want to see taxpayer interest supreme...certainly more paramount that banker interest.

That is why I would fake illness and let them take me to the emrgency room and keep me in the hospital until every imaginable test and observation can be completed. That should take me a good two weeks out of congress. Later, any way an opponent comes at me I can put on a good defense."Jah Jah see dem a come, but I & I a Conqueror!"

I would like to see the guts of this bailout. If its anything like the Wash Mutual sell-out, then it would be a samfie of a grand scale.
Mi nuh too trust Barnie Frank either!
If you have give us an overview?
