Who is Putting "Intense Pressure" on Bush and Congress to Pass the Bailout?

[bemildred]

An article in CNBC states, "The U.S. Congress and the Bush administration were under intense pressure on Saturday to negotiate a $700 billion rescue".

Who is putting intense pressure on both the White House and Congress to pass the bailout?

Not the American people, who overwhelmingly oppose the bailout.

Not American economists, former treasury secretaries, chairmen of the FDIC, or the Congressional Budget Office, who all say that the bailout won't work, and will actually harm the economy.

6. but who is behind the Fed?

Which rich powerful families own the Fed? That is who I think is behind this bailout bill. It all comes down to wealth concentrated in a very few. Whoever has the most wealth, has the power. That power is soon to be unleashed on us all.

2. These people?

If we step back a moment from the crisis, and look at it as if we're not involved, the likelihood is that saving Wall Street - in this fashion - will do exactly the same thing. It is certain, absolutely certain, that it will make a group, a very small elite group, of very, very rich people, even richer.

4. won't get my vote

I don't care what party people are from, in the next election, I vote *against* whoever votes for this package, the lesser of two evils, is still evil.

Getting rid of EVERYONE in Washington who votes for this package is a good start....
