It's going to pass and Wall Streets' going to fail anyway

[shadowknows69]

The official Shadow prediction. Get it here first. President Obama is going to be given a big financial shit burger for a present.

[ixion]

1. and the depression will happen inspite of this as well

and it will be that much worse because of it.

5. Might as well use your dollar bills to blow your nose,

wipe your ass and start fires.

[tekisui]

2. I think you are right on all points.

We have a tough road ahead. As has been said:
No matter how far you go in the wrong direction---turn around.

[Myrina]

3. Yep yep ...

... and we'll never learn to NOT beleive the (Congresscritter) hype.

[MindPilot]

4. Yep, and the MSM will be screaming

"the dems did it; the dems did it!"

[Truth2Tell]

6. yep. But at least Golman Sachs and Citigroup will get one last 700B out of us. nt

7. FDR got the shit burger in 1932. He ate it and crapped out the New Deal for us all.

With any luck, Obama will do the same if it ever came to the Second Great Depression.

8. You may be right. (n/t)

[girl gone mad]

9. Here's why I think it will fail:

10. It'll still crash and the Dems will get the blame and the $$$ will not be

there to help ease the Depression pain on Main Street. And, they'll ask for another bailout. And another.

11. indubitably

"but we HAD to do SOMETHING!!!

wait, don't we HAVE too do something about people dying because of lack of heathcare dollars?

and yet Congress has resisted.

Don't we HAVE to do something about out D- infrastructure becasue people are dying?

And yet Congress resisted.

Don't we HAVE to do something about the bloody expense of the Iraq War, becasue people are dying!

And yet Congress resisted.

Lose a few dollars on Wall Street though, and THAT'S A NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!!

CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE!!!! (for some--)

[screembloodymurder]

12. It's not going to pass and the dems are being hung out to dry.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

[shadowknows69]

13. The Nays do seem to be catching up all of a sudden in the House.

[shadowknows69]

14. Ummm,well I could be wrong right our of the chute

This fucker might fail after all. Anyone else watching the vote live? It's tied.

[lumberjack_jeff]

15. It's going to pass and Wall Street won't fail.

It wouldn't have failed anyhow. Too many people are too greedy for it to fail.

on edit: Uh. Nevermind.

17. 202 for and 228 against at this point ... looks like the extortion ain't gonna fly.

[TahitiNut]

16. Well, "Wall Street" is no more, anyway. There are no more 'investment banks.'

Goldman and Morgan changed spots. We're now watching the dominoes fall ... reducing the number of commercial banks to fewer and fewer ... dominated by behemoths. WaMu eaten ... Citi gobbled up Wachovia ... National City is next.

Yes... I don't see the "financial sector" recovering without even BIGGER shoes dropping than the $700B bailout. Even bigger problems face us because NOTHING is being done to correct the CAUSE of the collapse of the Ponzi house of cards.

Dems voting 2::1 FOR and GOP voting 2::1 AGAINST ... the blood is in the waters
