When is the Stimulus package going to be voted on today by House and Senate? |

Edited on Fri Feb-13-09 10:37 AM by tom_paine
I have been reading this and the Infoganda seems convinced that the votes will happen today was wondering if anyone had more detailed information about WHEN, WHAT TIME, the votes would be completed today?
This morning? Afternoon?
BTW, from my sample of M$M Infoganda I can't believe how quickly they adapted to "Clinton Attack Mode".
Honeymoon? :rofl:
Oh, but who could have foreseen THAT happening?

1. I assume today - the stated goal was to get a bill to the Pres by Monday (16th). |

the repukes have presented a procedural 'problem'....they're whining they didn't have 48 hours to read prior to the vote.

5. Somehow I have a feeling the final passage will be either late today, Sat., or even Mon/Tues. |
|
I also have a feeling that this "negative news" (negative to the Bushies, which mean is is actually POSITIVE NEWS to the bottom 99.999% of Americans) will stimulate a large drop in the stock market.
I know, I know, it's upside-down. What isn't, these last 30 years?
That's what happens when the stock market is restored to an 1870s level of corruption.
