[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The history of the current situation is interesting but ultimately a diversion. The crisis we face is NOT in ANY WAY addressed by Paulson's $700 billion bailout. This is a naked coup d'etat resulting from Hank pointing his bazooka at the heads of a leaderless Congress. The crisis we shall face by passing it will be a thousand times worse.

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency”

This bill gets passed, the US is no longer a republic. Period. It becomes a monarchy run by Hank Paulson.

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency”

It will be a VERY good time to be in Paulson's circle of cronies if that is enacted.
