They will pass a bailout bill, just not as fast, as many would have liked.
I am really surprised it was the Republican vote that kept it back from passing. 12 votes? Well I would prefer to see a 2/3rds vote on something so major. It really should be. We need a majority support, not a 51%/49% support card.
and I also like to note that it was total non-sense that the market dove today! What happens if they pass a bailout plan later in the week? I think monkey see, followed monkey do, today!
