Is a government buyout of $700 billion in mortgaged backed securities the best/only solution to this problem?

CM has been pissed for a long time. He started hammering hard after he realized that he had been duped. He started hammering on Kristol, Frum, Bolton soon after the invasion to the point that I swear they will not come on his program. C.M was the first mainstreamer to mention Walter Reed and returning soldiers. He aired some of the first shows from Walter Reed in 2004.. focused on returning soldiers

CM ask Rep Cantnor “Is the Republican Party responsible for the economic policies of this country right now?”

Cantor shuffles

C.M. to Cantor “I have never in my life seen a party run form its own record like the Republicans have”.

At 538 there’s a note that those Republicans that do not have to face the voters (because they are retiring), 96% of those safe GOP’ers voted for the bailout bill.

Worth noting…

I for one do not understand this “blame” theme. Success is what is. The “People” have voted down a trillion$ golden parachute for bushie and pals. Not being a lawyer, an accountant or having slept in a hotel last night I have no expertise in understanding the bill as I have read it (as much as is available that is) but even I can see some seriously nasty shit going down here. I can only hope that after a few days on the ‘net common sense will rule the day and this daft bill will go to the dust heap.

Tweety is mad. I think he was watching his portfolio crater.

Perhaps. But I don’t think it’ll work out htat way. The market will drop 1000 points before they can get even a stopgap message through.

This will begin to hit folks directly before something will pass.

I think the Repubs looked into the bottom of their wine glasses & saw tea leaves which, when they read them, said

“the American people don’t like this bill. They’re more angry at this ‘bail out the rich guys’ idea than they are scared that things are going to ‘crater’. So let’s vote against the bailout, go home & crow about what populists we are, and come out as winners.”

Probably they want the blame though seeing as how craptastic the bill was and how unpopular it was.

Not sure this is good.
