Saying that the answer to this crisis is to give Wall Street lower taxes and fewer regulations is like saying that all Jeffery Dahmer should have been given was a larger freezer.

The same McCain who scuttled the bill warned us yesterday that we would face a depression and 12% unemployment by Monday if this bill was not passed by Friday. Paulson met with Republican leaders yesterday or the day before - maybe he told them it wasn’t really an emergency.

When asked how they came up with the 700B amount, a Treasury spokesperson stated that there was no real reason for that amount, they just wanted something really big!

I fear the Dems will use this opportunity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They will “diligently” try to hammer out a different bailout the rich bill that wont fix the problem and try to push it through, take heat, and serve McInsane.

Best option (but the Dems wont take it) is to fund this bastard ENTIRELY with the Tobin Tax AND with a 10% surtax on incomes over $1 million a year - giving Paulson, at most, 100 billion, until it is determined that this will work - an INCREASE regulation. No taxpayer on the hook at all.

I think the deal was, is, postpone the inevitable collapse until 1-22-09 then blame the new occupant of White house for screwing up an even better economy than Big Bill left us to work with in 2000.

I want to hold out for a 10% added value tax on the top 10% along with a 1% tax on stock transactions to be shared 50/50 between buyer and broker. Let ‘em pay for their own bailout!
