Ta-da!!..looks like the Congressional perfomance artists gave the plates another spin

Of course this did not "solve" anything..

Credit card debt is smothering the life from the economy, kids still cannot "afford" college, people still cannot "afford" to live comfortably, and many are one illness away from living in a cardboard box.

Some republican "NO" voters, will see a possibility for re-election, where none existed two weeks ago, because now they can go campaign on how they, at least "tried to beat back the elitist bail out bill"..

Millions will still "lose" houses they probably never should have bought, but they will still be homeless.

Hundreds of thousands more will lose jobs they thought they would have, as long as they wanted them.

Wall street casinos will lie low for a while, but most of the upper echelon will not have to modify their lifestyles all that much, and now they have access to even more money to play with..


So they were "bipartisan", but it's meaningless ...lemmings of all colors, ages, shapes & sizes plummeting off a cliff, still end up dead, at the bottom

2. With or without the bailout...
Dumbya and Co. have royally screwed the American people. Now we just have a bigger hole from which to climb out.

The crooks are in charge.

4. The liquidity is necessary...

create the illusion that it's normal lemming behavior.

(ever see the true story of lemmings behavior and the Disney filmmakers?)

They all got parachutes.
