maybe i'm wrong for feeling this way, but I'm glad they voted against the bailout.... FUCK THEM GREEDY MOTHAFUCCAS!!! I have a feeling that peeps were being reminded of the S&L debacle some years ago by their constituents across the country....
i'd personally like to know where they came up w/ the $700B number in the first place....

Paulson said something to the effect of "the figure was chosen because it inspired confidence to stock traders" despite the fact that $300B or even $150B was enough to start getting the ball rolling on that.
EDIT: Apparently I can't post links yet. :-\

I have mixed feelings about it. Few would consider it the best solution, and most would agree that it's better than nothing.
Ron Paul thinks the best thing to do is nothing and I wonder if he's onto something...
