Senate OKs Sweetened Bailout

[forrest]

In a somber and rare demonstration of bipartisan unity, the Senate voted 74-25 on Wednesday for a $700 billion rescue of the nation's banking system - loaded with $150 billion in tax breaks - and sent it back to the House for a second chance on Friday.

Senators, including both presidential candidates, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, remained seated during the vote, a symbol of the weight they placed upon the stupendously expensive emergency bailout and the votes they cast in the face of intense public opposition just five weeks before an election.

I've started this reply a dozen times...I can't find the words to relay my anger and incredulity at our governments willingness to "bail out" Wall Streets finest.

I just erased a whole bunch of stuff again...I might try and say more about this later.

Throw the Bums out of Washington...Democrats and Republicans alike.

They are having their way with us, and we're not even getting kissed.
