Stocks Tumble As Bailout Plan Fails in House

[musicdied]

i know 100 genious ppl out there who could run a country 1000X better than the canidates we are forced to choose from. How do these tools make it to office. i suggest we elect a fuckin monkey, and im sure we would have less problems. eh we wouldnt have war, and stupid shit getting passed. fuck imagine if a pile of shit (literaly shit) had have been in office instead of bush, im 110% if a giant pile of feces WAS running, we wouldnt have these problems....GOD BLESSED AMERICA ALRIGHT!!

Stock market yesterday dropped almost 700 points (about 7 percent) which accounts for roughly $879 billion in investments (more than the 700 billion dollar bailout proposed by Bush in a single day). Japan, though, took even a worse beating....it lost over 900 points which accounts for roughly 12% of the stock value (vs about 7% in USA).

They need to throw these people in jail, and make them payback the money. This problem is beyond the democratic, and republican party.

[Leipage]

how can people actually be happy by this? This isn't punishing the "fat cats" in wall street. This is destoying the economy as we know it.  The only people that benefit from this are the wall street "fat cats" who shorted the market and made a fortune and countries that want to see America fail

[midwest26]

Why should we pay for stupid people who lend their money to anybody. It is pretty sad that things will never be the same we may never be able to sell our homes. Why worry about any of this anymore if you go into forclosure so be it. You can rent someone elses house who is desperate for renters. I'am putting my faith in God at this point the government can't solve every problem.

Fuck all the rich wall street criminals. America will not lead its citizens off a cliff to save these disgusting excuses for human beings. Score one for the greater good! The Bail out was a stick up anyway.

one for the people of this nation....FINALLY!

This is supposed to be a free trading market!! Bail out to bankers is Socialism!!! When you gamble big , you loose big. They have to fall to learn. If people loose the house they should not have in the first place, so be it. I can't afford a house,therefore I don't buy one.

Who owns the media...

The bankers who carry their debt! The borrower is a servant of the lender and THAT'S why there is so much negative spin in the media that this bill was defeated.

The FAT banker lady has not song yet and they will continue to pressure weak congressmen for a Yea vote for the WRONG reason...

Politics over the American people!

[videoaccess001]

Look at all those Democrats trying to push this through. Socialists liberals are great as long as they are not dealing with the nations money. Go read the review of the bailout plan by the economists at Harvard, Yale, MIT, University of Chicago, etc. It is important you know; go find it now. Just search these schools together in google.

[PoliticalHackertTube]

Keep watching the Media spin it as "oh noo, we're in trouble now". Funny how the Media sides with the Democrats now after all this time, and even funnier, is how the Democrats were WRONG on their support to begin with.

After 8 years of NeoCOn rule and mismanagement, we now have Dems supporting the EXTORTION and ROBBERY of our nation.

Shame on them all. Shame on both houses of Government. They have joined as one to become Fascists.

Fuck em all and fuck Wall Street. We won't be EXTORTED.

[Jogonpants]

Fuck them all!

[PoliticalHackertTube]

And the market is tanking on the NEWS of no bailout, more so than the REAL DANGER of no bailout. They're playing the gamble game and doing their usual speculator jobs.

The MArket was going to drop anyways, to throw our collective money at it , hoping it would fix it, was only a band aid tactic to begin with.I say, let the market speak and tell us what it is REALLY worth. Let's all find out the TRUE value of our "illustrious" economy.If it drops,so be it. Better than being EXTORTED into payment

[PoliticalHackertTube]

The Bailout didn't pass and the media is trying SCARE the public that it was a huge "mistake". Of course they will, they have the most to lose financially.

The truth is, that the MAJORITY of American's were and ARE against injecting $700 Billion dollars to save an already FIAT, unregulated, hyper inflated, worthless, phony ....system.

The media is going to hype the bailout as "still needed" and "necessary". BULLSHIT.

America will NOT be extorted to bailout out of fear. America has spoken!!

[DYBoulet2]

AMEN! Well said.

[Orion602]

interesting times..

[kennycreeper]

I'm curious what the average American thinks of this bailout of huge companies?

[SickFixx2]

As far as the people in my area, the majority consensus is that they got themselves into this mess, they should get themselves out. That's the attitude responsible adults take on most things.

[kennycreeper]

"they go themselves into this mes, they should get themselves out." I'd have to say this makes absolute sense to me. Thank you for the reply. Being I don't live in the U.S, I am curious how the people (the REAL people, like you and not just the highly paid talking heads) feel about it.

[2004JETTA]

no suprise

Any jumpers on Wall Street?
