[johndoe]

this idea seems a little rushed to me, what do you'll think of this?


i highly doubt it will fix the problems with the financial sector, yeah maybe temporary

ABC news is reporting that they think the Senate will have enough votes to pass the new and improved bailout plan today.  I have heard it will be this evening but havent obtained any sources that say when it will take place.  Its like Bush is looking for a prom date - the House turned him down, so he goes and asks the 'not-so-pretty' girl to dance with him.  Take it where you can get it I guess.

Bill approved as of 9:20pm according to Fox

Now we just need the house to pass it Friday... it's up in the air but IMO it will pass this time.

I am not going to chance it that the house doesnt pass the bill.  Today I will pull all of my funds out of the market.  Worked too hard to take a 50-80% loss in one motion.  The senate laced this bill with some points that the house has denied for the past 3 years, one being a decent tax cut for the middle class.  Seems like a big f you to the house for not passing the first bill.  Pressure is on.

any idea if we will hear something by the opening bell in the morning on the house votes?

Too much pork.  That's what I think of this.  We've been had once again.
