Bailout goes down!!

[OntarioVanMan]

The bill went down, 228-205, even though Paulson and congressional leaders proclaimed a day earlier that they had worked out an acceptable compromise in marathon weekend talks.
Lawmakers were caught in the middle. On one side were the dire predictions from Bush, his economic team, and their own party leaders of an all-out financial meltdown if they failed to approve the rescue. On the other side: a flood of protest calls and e-mails from voters threatening to punish them at the ballot box.

Keep calling your Senators and Reps!!!

I'll be honest. I'm glad it didn't go through. The tax payers shouldn't be paying for this type of thing. If you want a socialist government were the government takes care of your every need move to one. If not stay here and enjoy a some what Captialist/Free Market country.

I feel like if you want government provided this and that you should move to where it is offered. Actually, do those people have a choice on taking it? Doesn't their government take pretty much every thing they earn and then give the people what they think they need?
