House votes down massive financial bailout

Congratulations Republicans! You have sold your president down the river and flushed the United States economy down the toilet. You have ensured that Bush's lasting legacy will be that of Herbert Hoover, economic and financial ruin for this country.

Bush says "a vote for this bill is a vote to prevent economic damage to you and your community." Actually it's a vote for certain damage to us and our communities for years to come. The only argument for doing it is the claim that the damage will be worse without it.

No, you don't understand. This whole mess has nothing to do with 8 years of Bush. This must have been started during some earlier democratic administration, that's the only logical conclusion.

Truth is President Bush appears to have wielded little influence at all upon our economy. In fact, they never even had the slightest clue what was happening in Americas economy. Guilt by neglect perhaps.

oh you must be one of the fat cats that would have got millions from this deal.. so sorry, I am tickled that they finally remembered that they are working for the people not themselves,,,

Congratulations. Now lets go back to the drawing board, strip those CEOs of all severances, they don't need it, they already have stolen enough. Why should they be the recipients of the taxpayers money? They have their yachts, I'd like to have something for my tax dollars, as would 200+ million Americans.

Funny thing. Now that Wall Street is about to go in the toilet I don't here Repubs talking about Social Security "reform" (their euphemism for privatization)

Wow.

This may get very messy.

If the banking system collapses, then the entire economy will collapse.

WTH is up with the pass it anyway,, I think we should be more worried that government dont care what we or our reps think and make a bogus pass bill anyway.....

Give the 700 billion to the tax payers. If these businesses rely on constant credit so much then they deserve to go out of business.

The people have spoken with this vote.
I love this system.

Larry, It is the american people and their love for this great country that will keep it in tack,, not the government who have agendas for getting this passed. We will be fine...

Who would have thought that Bill Clinton's idea to extend credit to anybody with a pulse would turn out so bad? Why even bother with a credit check or income verification, just put them in the house, with 100% financing, no payments till next year, and see if they can convert their food stamps and welfare payments into cash enough to pay their mortgage.

Get ready for law of the jungle for a week once the economy fails. Then get ready for FEMA martial law.

My broker is E. F. Hutton, and E F Hutton sez..........you are fcked.
