The government takes over the economy. No more free markets. No more short sales. No more long sales. From now on you can only buy.
I feel like America is turning into Brazil circa 1992

Now you can cash out and get a real job, and maybe do something of actual value. Or you can just continue being blood-sucking parasites reaping rewards from other people's suffering. It's not to late to jump out your damn window, boys. Act now.

This was the vote to accept the amendments... not the vote to pass the bill itself.

Therefore, since the house bill now reads the same as the Senate bill....
(The rest is left as an exercise for the student).
Take a civics class.

@ shalimar. wrong.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. House of Representatives lawmakers wary of growing signs of the nation's economic distress voted in favor of a $700 billion Wall Street rescue package on Friday, sending the biggest government intervention in the financial markets since the Great Depression to President George W. Bush for his signature.
The 263-171 vote was a stark reversal from Monday, when House lawmakers shocked investors and their own leaders by voting against a more narrow version of the plan to buy up distressed assets from financial institutions. That vote sent financial markets tumbling and forced the Bush administration and congressional leadership to scramble and salvage the rescue plan.

Why no reporting on WSJ's "Who said what about Fred and Fan" yesterday?
Oh I see, it quotes the ridiculous statements Dems made over the years about the GSEs and their fiscal stability - hence it cannot be stated here.
Come, let us dig for some dirt on McCain/Palin/Republicans.....

If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years to come.

Maybe now some of you will go back to Yahoo finance and leave these boards to people who actually understand finance. Half of you should be cheering, you're one step closer to being able to keep your $400k house on your $50k a year salary.
Way to go. When you are looking for someone to blame, don't forget to look in the mirror and at your neighbors first.
