In a late night vote, the house passed this measure. Now it goes to the senate. I guess you all know by now how I feel about the whole bail out, that it wasn't a bail out and that it doesn't matter where the money goes, the damage is already done and people are buying the whole bail out line witgh out even coinsidering the ramifications of T.A.r.P. Anyway, just posted this because ot was breaking news.

Yep, it's sad, isn't it? It was obvious that they would get money. At least they didn't get $25 or even $34 billion, and only $14... Still crazy. I want my share of the money... why do they get the bailout and we still get to struggle to pay the bills?

Don't be so sure of that. We're probably being lied to about the actual number. We were told the last bailout was $700 billion when it was really closer to $940 billion after you factor in all the bribes/earmarks used to get the necessary votes.

It seems like all of this pisses you guys off. It worries me. I mean I'm a little pissed too, disgusted for SURE, but mostly I'm afraid and worried about what all this means for me and my son, and his kids (if he can ever afford to have any)? What does all this mean for us? I don't know but I'm sure it aint good!

I haven't looked at the wording yet, but if they did it they way I think they were going to, at least they are pretending like it is a loan not a gift.
