Who else believes that after all the furor....

and lip flapping, congress will give Paulson everything he wants? Of course, this will be "after" they stick on more of their own earmarks to bloat it even more.

10. Exactly. When I say that to folks and they tell me I'm crazy, I tell them
my gauge for what's possible and what isn't is this: WWMD? What would the Mafia do? Then I know the answer.

4. I was afraid of the Great Depression 2, but now I want to see the Wall St. bastards crash & burn.
I was encouraged when I came to DU last night and saw how Congress is reacting and not wanting to vote the bail out through. I really hope that Congress grows a set and won't sell us down the river once again. Right now I'm trying to hang onto a tiny bit of hope.

That said, it is so damn obvious that Paulson and the rest of them are doing the hard sell on the bail out because they're talking about how there won't be any credit available for consumers, blah blah blah. Like we all need more credit to drown in. Puhleeze. :eyes:

8. Given our Dems reputation of "standing firm" I expect not only for them to fold...
but to somehow include a free Jacuzzi for each CEO...

9. Of course they will
then, I predict, the markets won't "regain confidence," and everything will still come crashing down even if we hadn't have thrown 2 trillion dollars to those greedy motherfuckers.

11. They'll continue aiding and abetting this criminal administration
just as they have done.
