I feel better now that it has passed. At least "something" was done to help stem the market free-fall. Whether it was THE answer, who knows? Seems to me that on balance, most experts felt it needed to be done, however imperfect a solution it appears to be. It's what happens next via reforms/re-emphasis on regulatory controls, etc., that will really matter.

This is the final nail in the coffin.

Before there was hope we could come back after a severe recession of a few yrs.

This bill guarantees the American economy will suck for the next 10-15 yrs.

I'm not pleased about it, unfortunately though the markets have been whipped up into such a frenzy about this that not passing might have led to a big time collapse. So can anyone summarize how this bill is different from the original version, besides having a bunch more pork put into it?

A very sad day in American history. Our leaders should all be tried for treason after raping this country on the watch of the drunkard GWB.

listening to Bernie Sanders (I)VT this morning talking about investing in infrastructure and green jobs:

Said that if we invested something like 150billion into renewable energy, it would create 6 million jobs. WHY AREN'T WE DOING THAT?????

seems that would generate jobs, tax revenue, and a future.




Elect the non-incumbant in November.
