		<description>&lt;p&gt;Lish is right&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dems will not just look like a losing team, they will be nailed by the GOP as being responsible for the taxpayer bailout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The GOP knows exactly what it is doing. We have been set up once again in a no-win situation. let’s just hope that our dem leaders fight back on this&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bush is Lucy, setting up the political football.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Congressional Democrats are Charley Brown, moronically convinced they have no choice but to once more try and kick the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But this time, instead of Bush snatching the ball away, it’s McCain who intercepts the play, grabs the ball and runs with it to the opposite goal line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The score: Bush and the Democrats look like a losing “team” while McCain boasts of saving the taxpayers’ $700 billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Barney Frank is once again revealed to be a capitulating tool.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point, I have to say: God bless Saint John McCain for derailing that piece of shit that Barney and Chris and George were about to fob off on the public.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I totally agree with you on this, but the big bonus is that he did it in such a fucked up way that he’s now going to get the blame for anything bad that happens from here on out.  He could have just made a bold statement about how he simply would not support a bailout that takes from the poor and gives to the rich.  That would have buffed his “maverick” credentials and increased his standing with regular folks.  Instead, he threw his weight behind some bizarre 11th hour “insurance” scheme instead of the Great Bipartisan Compromise.  David Broder’s going to be pissed, and you can bet your ass that any plan the House Republicans come up with will cost us more than whatever they’d “agreed” to tonight.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There models assume large numbers of buyers and sellers with mostly small businesses.  An inevitable consequence of market maturity is consolidation and a dramatic reduction of the numbers of competing firms (ultimately trending to monopoly or oligopoly).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Its clear to me (after a few glasses of wine). Wall St does not like the plan (executive compensation, equity positions, bankruptcy protection for homewowners) and wants a better deal. A better deal for Wall St executives, that is. I’d bet on closer examination the republican house member plan is much better for the Wall Street Gang.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why else do this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do the laws on Gang memberhsip apply?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
