The government buy bad assests is bad business. Mortgage payment relief for irresponsible people is bad business. There is other methods.

I wonder if we taxpayers have a class action case against congress if they pass this obscene monstrosity. I certainly hope so. Count me in.

It is the wrong reaction to the crisis. Congress should spawn/grow replacements, not save bad apples.

They just added $100 billion to the package, and are STILL working from the top in the HOPE that it will trickle down. I am disgusted!

Same plan giving money to the rich, while adding a couple of very small breaks for the poor. Rich win again. No brainer.

Taxes may go up, but the alternative is much worse. No liquidity in the market and a credit crisis will be more expensive in the long run.

The market needs to adjust. All this bill will do is prolong that process and cost us a fortune.

Fix all credit markets including short-term loans, especially 30% rates. The snowball started a little further up the hill guys.

      The bill is about to pass (I believe).  CNBC is showing signs of exuberance...happiness and relief.  Don't expect that to trickle down to you for some time to come. We'll have to find other ways to have a good day for so many days ahead.  Good luck with that to all.

      What I want to know is who added the pork? It didn't just appear there. Someone has to put it there and others have to agree. I've been watching the news to see if they'd report it. I have yet to see any names. The situation room said they were going to spell it out but didn't. They showed some that could have, but then said they didn't. Someone did! Who are they and who agreed to add it, and for what reason? Why is this a big secret and why is the media pertecting them. If I did something that stupid the whole world would know about it in seconds.

        Standard answer would be, the senate bill was written by the senate leaders heading the committee doing the work...every piece of legislation has an author...for goodness sake do your homework...your future depends on that and always has.  Your still looking for someone to tell you your answers...and believeing they are a trustable source...don't stratagists and pundits teach you anything?  Go after your own answer in the place where they are. inform yourself.

          NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. banks and money managers borrowed a record amount from the Federal Reserve in the latest week, nearly $188 billion a day on average, showing the central bank went to extremes to keep the banking system afloat amid the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

          $188 billion per day times 7 = $1316 billion!

          What is even more neglected in being mentioned in the news is that the bail out or rescue will cost a lot more than $1316 billion, or $1.3 trillion.

          If the housing market is a $30 trillion market, and if that is down 30%, then the bail out could cost $9 trillion.

          And if the housing market is $40 trillion, and if housing goes down 50%, then try more like $20 trillion.

          Welcome to our future.
