By The Rule Of The Governed...

I have no phD in economics to be certain, but can someone tell me why, when the vast majority of the USA is NOT in favor of this bailout, and I have a visceral reaction to it, when I have no money locked up in the stock market, bailing out millionaires should matter to me. :shrug:

I hope there is a healthy compromise, but this thing as it stood, smelled bad.

1. Personally, if george is in favor of this, it stinks. That is all I need to know.

3. It didn't pass the smell test.

and if they truly believed it was the best thing to do (which it may have been) they should've tried harder to sell it, instead of rushing it to the floor like that.
