The cable news networks are standing by for a press conference by House Republicans on the bailout bill. It should start some time after 6:30 p.m. EDT.
How are the Asian markets doing??
What's wrong with a variety of tax cuts instead of bailout?
Could you recommend a live-stream link?
I heard that the ACORN add on is out but haven’t been able to get in to doaload the bill yet. I don’t like the bill but do realize that if we don’t do this then banks acorss the country could being to collaspe and I don’t know about you but I can’t afford for my mortgage to be called in tomorrow and need to be paid in full!
I don’t think they’re open yet, are they?
damn it all the republicans should BACK AWAY FROM THE BAILOUT.
if it is life or death the democrats could pass it without one republican.
damn it!!!!
republicans should just say NO TO THE BAILOUT!!!!!!
UNLESS IT IS APPROVED BY BASE.
Is this what’s streaming on C-SPAN? Some kind of press conference seems to be going on.
sw
No offense, but I wouldn't stake my life on that. The bill hasn't made it to the floor yet. Trust but verify :)
Careful youngun...
Goldstates been around for a while, and even I don’t agree with him on everything, but he ain’t no newbie Freeper.
If you think this is the ONLY bailout, not just the first of many, I gotta bridge to sell ya...
And that means Argentina, US.
Either that or some foreign entity will just buy us out, and then the House will simply have NEW BOSSES...
Please tell me by what magic you got a copy of the alleged “new and compromised” bill. Because it’s been impossible to get.
I’m not at all convinced that anything’s close to conclusion as the Four Mousekateers of Pelosi, Dodd, Reid and Frank were vague as all get-out.
As for a pubbie “press conference”...Fox News announced there would be one at 5:15 pm....now supposedly 6:30 pm.
Where are the pubbies?
And Why is “March 14, 2008” a significant date?
Bear Stearns payoff.
“Or are you just stupid?”
Rude and unnecessary.
Seems like there are A LOT of “stupid” FReepers, according to some. Count me in..... NO BAILOUT!!!
How does that happen?
1) They aren’t going to address the liquidity crisis at all, unless they’re retroactive, in which case they’re just a bailout by another name.
2) They can’t pass in the next few days.
Let’s just be clear - the most odious provisions have been stripped. This bill is desperately needed. Anyone willing to simply take the hit “out of principle” is a complete and utter moron.
Failing to do this means a certain recession, an Obama Presidency, and quite possibly a global depression since I really doubt if Obama or his team have the stuff to manage this crisis.
Doing this probably means, over the next five to ten years, a multi-trillion profit for the Federal Government.
The updated bill is downloadable from Michelle Malkin’s site. The Acorn boondogle is gone, but the Bank of China bailout is still there.
It's Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) (which if you squint looks like, "(RINO)," but what do I know?) He's reassuring everyone this bill is A-OK.
Where is the army of House Repubs?
And so the Great Goldman Sachs Bailout Bill of 2008 nears its passage.
Is there a more free nation available? Seriously. It’s looking more and more like it’s time to bail.
