Thank you for your most informative post. I had no idea it already went to the Senate...where the heck have I been? Why would McCain vote on such a pork-filled bill tomorrow?

As I understand it, the bill that will be voted on tomorrow doesn’t have the original pork. There are additional provisions from the “original revised” bill. (Extending FDIC protection from $100,000 to $250,000 for one).

And who the heck knows how he will vote? He’s not real predictable. And I don’t believe that everything that is said is true. Too much under the surface that we will never know, imo.

Miss DiDi, I must retract a statement I made last evening about the vote for the original bail-out bill being already voted on in the Senate. The bill that was voted on by the Senate, referred to as the “Relief Bill” was evidently the “Tax Relief Bill”. A different bird altogether. I wrongly assumed (and I know better) that since the hot topic was the bail out... that was what the vote was about. But it does seem that the Tax Relief Bill has been attached in part, at least, to the bail out.

Note to Berdie, read the text of the bill and pay attention to it's name (or how it is being named in the media) or keep thy mouth shut. :)

Given the events of the day, this is pretty old news. I just hate to make a misstatement.
