So...McCain is concerned with a legal, financial decision that would give one person the ability to spend $1 trillion, but the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation that will cost tax payers $1.9 trillion, initiated by a single person, was ok?

Btw, I love you guys. I'm SOOOOOO glad SOMEONE is televising (sort of ;P) the economic reality of this situation: if Congress bails the market out, the rich people who caused this problem are the ONLY ones who will benefit.

yea being poor in Chicago working in community service isn't main street. Dude get real. Obama knows what it means to struggle he's really only recently gotten rich via books, and he isn't that rich. Barely a millionaire right now.

look how strong we became after the fall of '29. dont bail out anything. the people are the only ones that will lose whether THEY get the bail out or not. I'll be more willing go to prison for tax evasion before bailing out yet again the same 'ol failing system,,,,,AGAIN.

WHAT GOOD DID IT DO YOU WHEN YOU BAILED OUT THE AIRLINES NOT TOO LONG AGO ???!!! HEELLLOOO????????????

GO RON PAUL/ CHUCK BALDWIN '08 !!!!!

I saw this one Simpsons episode years ago that I think of every time I hear this kind of political nonsense. The presedintial candidates were abducted and taken over by aliens that wanted to enslave the planet. People discovered the switch before the elections and the aliens mocked America saying the citizens had no choice, they had to vote for one of them, that's the way the political system works. In the last scene the aliens were shown subjugating the people in slavery.

BOB - "Now that the collapse has occurred" - according to Paulson, we haven't even begun to see a collapse. Further to that, it seems like an enormous deja vu. Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt being espoused by a republican regime. Isn't this a lot like - "he's got weapons"? IF we have a collapse, and IF we go into a depression, THEN government can create back to work programs and other needed programs. This pre-emptive attack behavior is insane. Last I looked, no one held the crystal ball.

Now that the collapse has occurred, the reform roadblock built by Senate Democrats in 2005 is unforgivable.

We now know that many of the senators who protected Fannie and Freddie, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from them over the years.
