Senate will vote on bailout bill tomorrow and the House probably on Thurs.
Most expect the bill will pass and will be signed into law by Bush by the end of the week or weekend.

4. Obama will be supporting it, along with most Democrats.
Don't you trust his judgement?

9. I happen to favor the bailout.
Because we have no freaking choice. My company right now is running on credit, because they decided to invest and hire more employees.

If the bank refuses to give them any credit, bye bye job.

Ok, I'd find something else, but probably not the same wage. And I guess a lot of businesses are like that right now.

Expect a 2-digit unemployment rate if the bailout is not passed.

Also I thought the house was voting first and then the senate second...?
