I don’t understand why we keep failing to factually understand what is going on. The hyperbole and outright lies on some of these threads is ridiculous.
The only bill that will be considered in both chambers today is the enhanced compromise plus the tax incentives demanded by the GOP to guarantee their support.
The GOP has won on this issue. The RATS are terrified of the original Paulson bill, want GOP political cover, and want to get out of town. Regardless of how the MSM spins this, the GOP has won.
The so-called House GOP alternative is an even better bill but will NEVER be considered on the House floor. Pelosi would never allow her members to be exposed to such a vote. Therefore, this alternative is for political purposes only - to explain to constituents why they are still voting NO.
Therefore, it is the enhanced compromise that is on the table or nothing. It will pass overwhelmingly in the Senate but might still have rough sailing in the House. Pelosi will have to deliver more RAT votes, and they are furious with her because her Monday ploy failed.
Can we at least get on the same page with the facts of what is going on and stop the hyperbole and dreaming?
This is 8th grade civics, folks. Please stop the distortions of the facts. We are only wasting each other’s time and hurting our cause.
And nevermind the bailout loophole for foreign bankers?
Good grief.
