I don’t know if the Democrats will pass their bill without the Republicans. They could have done so already but have not. I guess we will see.

If the Democrats can get the Bailout passed with the connivance of the Republicans then they think the country is on a fast track to Socialism, at least of the Euro variety. Without the Republicans to blame the ensuing disaster on the Democrats cannot stay in power past the next election and socialism is no good if they lose power in the process. Do not trust something the Democrats crave but will not pass without the Republicans. It means that they know it will produce disaster that will be glaringly obvious to the voters. They crave that disaster if they can pin it on the Republicans. With MSM they will.
