Congress voted down the $700 economic bailout package Monday. Democrats and Republican as usual blamed each other for the hold up that resulted in Wall Street holding a fire sale on shares and stock plummeting to 777 point loss that has already climb 494 points today. (Hmm)
The bailout backed by both the Democratic and Republican congressional leadership as well as President Bush, failed in the House by a vote of 228-205. Word is some Republicans got their panties in a bunch when Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosie made remarks prior to the vote along the lines of, "the Bush administration's failed economic policies -- policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything-goes mentality with no regulation, no supervision and no discipline in the system." MAN PLEASE! These clowns think too highly of themselves acting like they're looking out for taxpayers with all this outrageous spending going on already. When it's campaign season please believe that you neighborhood politician is going sellout like none other. Oh well, maybe I can get in on some shares of Google now that they're at $400 bucks a pop.
