is just a measure to calm emotions. Because there is so much fear about it not passing again that if it fails there will be mayhem. l just think way to much focus is being directed towards this deal happening.

yah

l think it is both to calm wall street and to try to work towards lowering the debt

Listen, l do not think that we should be bailing Wall Street out b/c they made mistakes. If the bailout is done in a way to show that we are trying to prevent another depression, then it might work.

The bailout is intended to fund the multimillion dollar bonuses of all the CEOs who are about to jump ship as their banks are taken over. The Congress is out to help their own and screw the stupid taxpayer.

Well any type of Bailout Washington can come up with is only delaying the inevitable. There will be a depression whether this new bailout package passes or not.it is no longer a matter of if but, a matter of when.

It think that it is a bad idea. If u screwed up ur company & then in turn our economy, u should not be reward it for it. All the big head-shot CEO r going to get paid with our tax money their regular salary, plus their bonuses. that is crap! & what guarantees that it will work & we will eventually get paid back. nothing does. a normal person with
33 million dollars would escape out the country were no one can find him/her & live a luxurious life. we really need to think this a lot before everything is approved.

if the bailout is approved & if the amount injected into the economy is not sufficient, who will provide the money back?

It is buy some time for the old guard to load up their booty & get out of dodge. l cannot account for the U.S. Senate going against over ninty percent of american voters. over ninty percent oppose this bailout but they r about to vote & approve this gd abomination. l want their house of cards to fall before the election. this is a lot of debt but it is mainly a smokescreen to ease things for those who profited & were deeply involved with this robbery & colossal creation of public debt. damn their eyes. l am watching them milling around in front of the cspan cameras & they r all dressed in black & looking serious. they r traitors & deserve stern justice. it was so easy for them for so long. they must be tried & put on public display.

l think it was an alright thing that it did not pass the first time though. It is better that it be revised. The original plan had that money coming from us the tax payers. l hear that the revision may state that the money come from wall street. That is part of the reason that so many republicans voted it down. They wanted revision. l think that our government is trying diligently to improve out economy. You & l helped put those people in office so they would make these decisions for u & I. l am going to let them & respect the decision they make. That is the point of government. l can not stand people who do nothing but bash the people in office. I'd like to see them step up to the plate & make these decisions & also deal with the criticism.

l think the panic is being generated by those who want the money. The people who made the bad deals should have to suck it up. Let their companies stock drop & get bought by another company. The fed needs to keep its hands off capitalism.

If the govt steps in they should buy the companies & hire a management team of proven, successful people to run them till this is passed us. They should then be actioned off like govt surplus items r with the money paying off the costs of buying them & being paid directly on the deficit.

Its trying to calm investors because we live in a system that is so screwed up that if the aforementioned investors are stressed, its you and me who lose money :)

It is a good thing because if we do not millions of people will lose there jobs and our economy will get closer to a big recession

Rusty Crowe, in all his idiocy, has in fact made an astute observation of this crisis.
His plan is to give every American $1 million, that adds up to roughly $300 million, a hell of a lot less than $300 billion that the bailout plan is.
Now if everyone got a million, then just about everyones credit problems would be reduced or eliminated altogether.
The caveat is that greedy pigs who want to be very, very, stinking rich, have all got serious credit problems that bailout probably would not help.
SO, if most of the poor working class, us, managed to get their head out of the ''S'' bend, then the only people left to suffer is the stinking greedy rich people who deserve to take a cut in profits, anyway.
The USA government is only supporting the rich by this bailout, which is doomed to fail, because it cannot sustain the huge credit bubble caused by the rich trying to get richer.
Stand up & demand social justice from a morally bankrupt government, that feeds off ur taxes, then rips it off you, loses it, & then uses more of ur future money to bail out the rich.
