Nice. Now that’s a ‘rescue plan’.

And if McCain has any brains, he’ll get behind this too.

"Probably more in line with the Paulson proposal"

From what I read, the senate plan is the Paulson proposal, just with a few sweeteners like maybe "calling for" removal of mark to market and a couple of business tax cuts. I hate it, from what I have heard.

Sounds like a big improvement. Hope it passes....with McCain’s name on it.

Can you imagine a Dem controlled House and Senate agreeing with this?

Neither can I.

My question was, why would McCain vote for something like that if he is Mr. Anti-Pork?

He probably wouldn't. So then Obama and the Dems can scream that McCain is preventing us from having a solution.

they noticed that some democrats were voting no

because their districts were very angry about the bailout, so they followed suit.

my pubbie voted yes. she’s not very bright. but she’s pretty.

After two years, not continuing it will be painted as a tax increase in the alt media. :^)

I’d like to add a ban on campaign contributions from any institution that benefits from this.

Why not revoke the tax on SS income while they are at it . It is an example of double taxation anyway !

I am in Tampa. The Market here peaked about 2007 At 100 to 150% of 2003 prices. It was ridiculous.Prices have only come about half back to that. Nobody wants to admit they were stupid to pay that much. The 700b needs to be at least 1.6t to cover. That is just the homes. Then they got 2nd”s and credit cards for tens of thousands and no way to pay.

But after two years what then happens to the Capital Gains tax rate?

It becomes a campaign item for the GOP.

There is going to be some give and take on this bill. Not everything in it is going to be to my liking but, as Jefferson found out, that’s why it’s called a Republic.

"Forging"? That's what Biden & Rather do. The GOP is CRAFTING a proposal.

Media bias? What media bias? [/s]

...and the cornerstone of VP Palin's Presidential run.

The senate votes tomorrow evening on essentially the same bill with a section on FDIC and the study of suspending the mark program. We all need to call our senators and let them know how we feel about them trying to pass it in the senate.
