I was there.

It's on C-span

I read that some of the confidence was put in play to Joe American due to the FDIC increase from $100k to $250k.

Are people really this f-ing stupid? How many average Americans have $100k, much less $250k in the bank? I'm going to guess damn near nobody. The increase only helps the corrupt bastards that started this mess.

Thanks, Rocc.

I see the NC senators split a yes and a no. I contacted both... I can't believe this just happened. Now on to start on the representatives again...

Getting my typing and dialing fingers limbered up...

[Roccland]

Here's the kicker...

Tax relief for solar/wind projects was also approved.

So what's it gonna be boyz?

"The course of action I'd suggest is a course of action I can't suggest."

Why do we allow ourselves to be ruled by this collection of walking toilet bowl scum?

[MarkL]

My senators were split also. Dole is up for re-election. I'm sure it's the only reason she voted for it.

I've had very good luck phoning my congresscritters. I generally get through after a couple of rings and stay on hold for no more than a couple of minutes. I even got through on Obama's phone...

Kill the bill. Call your reps.

Futs are down...

Bad sushi...

Wonder if they can have another vote to save the economy?

[RedStateGreen]

This is the new version of the bailout bill? Does anyone have a link to the new text?

[hope_full]

I spent a not-insignificant amount of time today, calling and emailing the Senators (Webb and Warner) and posting things on internet boards and blogs and begging people to contact their senators.

I think this is pretty damn sneaky to try it in the house and then move it into the senate. TBS (toilet bowl scum) is a good description.

How *dare* they add $700 billion of debt to my taxes. I'm outraged beyond all words. I'm just too disgusted to even express my outrage. Un-frickin'-believable.

As to the FDIC limits, I agree that 99.5% of Americans have less than $100,000 cash in the bank. If these idiot senators really think that Americans care that the FDIC limits were raised, then they really are completely out of touch with the world.

I think this is a dark day for America. We've been sold into serfdom. We're bearing witness to one of the greatest wealth distribution schemes in the history of the world. They've robbed from the poor (and middle class) to give to the wealthy.

Shameful. Just shameful.

what are you worried about? you'll never pay for much of this at all; heck, you might never pay one red cent. it's impossible to collect taxes from the homeless, unemployed, and the indigent, and in a few months, that's what most of us will be anyway.

Oops I knew that. She voted for defeating it
