Ditching Mark-to-Market not such a good idea?

if Obama buys this bag of bullshit he will own it despite the fact that George created it. The Democrats must put forward their own plan with strong regulation on banking and finance. Directly buying and refinancing home mortgages at a fair price for 6% over a 45 year non salable mortage with a 50% goverment stake in any profit at sale. 200 billion in a public infrastructure renovation. 100% rebate for home owners who put on solar collectors. 100% reimbursement to States for building high volume high tech transmission lines. A tax rebate up to the cost of the car for getting a plug in electric car. etc. etc.
If we as ordinary democrats can see these outlines of a true recovery plan, why cant the politicians that we hire see them.
I hope Obama wins but by god I intend to keep his feet to the fire to be the President of Change. The bail out is just more of the same Bush-McCain crap.

No, seriously. All appropriations bills MUST originate in the House. How can the Senate take up a bill that the house has defeated? Or is this just a “sense of the Senate” vote?

doesn’t this all translate into roughly $3000.00 per US citizen over 18?

Sarah: “Alaska is not a foreign country.”

She wanted Alaska to be a foreign country. So now she has changed her mind. But Todd is still a secessionist, isn’t he?

If the Senate is authorizing the Treasury to print money, before they’ve gotten us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, I’m against it.

However, if Ian likes it, I’ll reverse my position.
