Nothing rushed sounds like it's going to be good. Reactive, nor proactive is the direction this is going.

I would rather see another option, even though we really don’t have time to explore other options.

If there is a bailout, then I would also like to see some checks and balances put in the system to help avoid future bailouts.

I think we probably need to do something, but I have no idea if this bill was what's needed or not. I'm pretty sure there is no "right" answer as to what needs to be done. Personally, I saw do whatever Warren Buffet says to do. He seems to understand this crap, has anyone asked him what we should do?

Miss Britt, yeah, and I don’t know what “WE” means in this case either. Maybe it’s a little better that people learn (even the hard way) that working off of credit so much isn’t such a good deal.

Alex, It’d be nice if they did what Ben proposed below – require at least 24 hours for review. I can’t believe it’s not a law already!

Ben, I’m starting to respect the Republican House leadership more and more – and beginning to suspect that Pelosi and the democrats wanted something for the next administration to be able to blame… something pre-2009.

Ren, right! If we have to have a mandatory period to buy a gun, shouldn’t we at least have the same for our laws? I’d say an improper law is way more dangerous than a gun.

Avitable, and Congress too

Allyson, then the race would be who could buy gold the fastest…

Sybil Law, I’ll drink to that

marilyn, hey all you need to do is be a congressman!

Cap didn’t you know? I don’t allow swearing… :) Your comment is inspiring me to post a little email thing I got today from an Uncle about who’s responsible and what taxpayers should do about it. think think think.

It has me literally sick to my stomach. All I really want to know is where they came up with the number 700 billion. How did they do that math? Everyone broke this ... and I don't see the sense in giving <i>those same people</i> a blank check (essentially) to fix it. If every single person in Congress resigned, if we had new reps and Senators and a completely accountable oversight committee, I would feel more comfortable. <abbr><em>Cap´s last blog post..<a href="http://tfchouse.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/tuesday-is-the-new-friday/" rel="nofollow">Tuesday is the new Friday</a></abbr></em> I swore I wasn’t going to talk about this anymore.

In fact, I know it would because if I had that much money I would be able to sell this house and buy a condo in the Denver area, move in with my husband who could help with childcare, and get a job that would pay enough that I could spend a little money on frivolous things on a regular basis. I want a bill that includes that. As for this other bailout they keep talking about, I have no idea if this would be good for the economy or not but they are talking about so much money that you'd think they could give us a straight answer for exactly how it's going to be used. <abbr><em>marilyn´s last blog post..<a href="http://eclectichuman.blogspot.com/2008/09/manic-monday-red-eyes.html" rel="nofollow">Ruby Tuesday: Red Eyes</a></abbr></em> I think the economy would benefit from a bill that gave me personally $250,000.

Pete heard a suggestion on talk radio that I thought was a pretty good one. He (the talk radio guy) pointed out that the proposed $700B was about equivilant to giving every adult 18 and over $250,000. Talk about an economic stimulous package! The way I see it, the people who are about to lose their homes would be able to pay off their mortgages, and people like me would be able to clean up their credit, and still would be able to make the big purchases, or investments that would put our economy back to rights.
