There's the money quote. I was hoping they'd lard it up so much that GWB would veto it. But it looks like the "improved" version (which adds $30-$50B, not porky enough to bother GWB I bet) is Plan A, and if they can't get together on that then they just pass the House version as is and be done with it. The checks will go out.
So even after today's incredible stock market move (I think at least partially based on this very Senate revelation), I wouldn't bet against stocks going down below this morning's low for quite some time.
