17. Spare me ...
Its interesting that you left the health care discussion and ran to the bank bailouts all of a sudden.

ok...

1) If you want to give your money DIRECTLY to the insurance companies, even as they cover less and less, and you pay more and more in co-pays and out of pocket ... then you should DEFINITELY be against this bill.

2) Regarding the bank bailouts and Phil Gramm (who you bring up out of nowhere), Phil did not call the American people whiners AFTER the bailout, he called them that BEFORE the bailouts. Phil would have been happy to let the banks fail, after all, UBS had already paid him MILLIONS to screw up our financial system.

3) I'm going to guess that you don't have a 401k. I do. And I've been building it up for 20 years, and this time a year ago, it was devastated. One year later, it is largely recovered. If the financial system collapsed, it would have taken my 401k, and everyone else's with it.
