I don't have a clue, so I'm not worrying about it. If they don't pass something today, they'll pass something tomorrow or the next day.

I am freaking out now, too.

So much for being well-off. I'm thinking of staking my claim on this nice cardboard box before anyone else gets it.

Can you find out how your representatives voted? (If so, how?)

What is, is, though I gotta tell ya, there's a part of me (the socialism-loathing part) that's glad it went down in flames. If private industry companies make bad decisions that lead to their failure, neither you or I should be on the hook for it. Yes, it's waaay more complicated than that (I can proudly say that I saw the sub-prime mortgage mess coming on years ago), and yes, in this case those companies were nudged into making some of those decisions by insane Bush economic policies/practices, but nudged with a fingertip. I want to say let the financials fail. Let the market crash (and yes, I have stocks in there). If that's what it takes to get back to sane economic practices, bring it. But of course it can't happen that way. I can't really say those things because too many people would feel the hurt too deeply. As the web spins out, too many guiltless businesses and industries would be adversely affected. My only hope is that whatever measures are taken, they do not stink of socialism.

I have another friend who is just about apoplectic over this; I'm actually afraid he might implode at any second. I myself am too scared to learn enough about the subject to let myself become apoplectic, because I totally would.

It HAS to get solved. Seriously. I mean, we're not playing here. The hell with politics and shit. DO. SOMETHING. TO. FIX. IT. NOW. What is wrong with them (= Congress)???

OMG, if the Republicans didn't vote for such an important bill because Nancy Pelosi hurt their feelings... they're exactly the petty little assholes we know them to be. /o\

Just call me Susie Sunshine: as of 8:54pm, Dow futures are up 20 points, suggesting a positive opening tomorrow.
