Wow. They caved.
From what I read of the compromise, the R’s got some of what they wanted- namely, ACORN out of it, plus some of the credit(?) insurance paid for by the companies rather than total taxpayer bailout, and some other stuff. Yes it still stinks but I think they did what they could. If they didn’t compromise and there was no bill, then the Monday markets likely would not react favorably. The other result, a total Dem bill, would be a much much bigger pile of stink.
