4. If the House procrastinates long enough
perhaps Paulson won't get it. Whoever Barack Obama designates will get it. And Main street will actually get the help it needs. But I wish Obama had mentioned, if only obliquely, that Congress did the same monstrous bailout because of the Keating 5. Wasn't it $600 billion?

9. Not even close to $600 billion
Total cost to taxpayers was estimated at $160 billion. Considering that we have already committed $200 billion to Fanny and Freddy and $89 billion to AIG, this current crisis is going to be way more painful.

7. Schumer is covering his ass with his base
if you look at the votes the other day, everyone from NY in the house also voted for the bail out.

you mean his contributors, I think. I used to think I, as a middle-class New Yorker, was his base.

One day in the near future I hope some folks get elected who want to represent the people and do what is in the best intrest of taxpayers instead of special interest groups. Probably wishful thinking though..

18. remember Schumer gave us Mukasey.
they are railroading us guys, we spoke to our Reps and Senators to say NO Bailout, this is being thrusted down our throats. Smirkey is watching everything.
