Saw this reference on another bailout post... Newsweek story about which CEOs in this bailout scandal walked away with what. One of the bailed out companies had a $400k company retreat *after* they got their bailout money. Argh. -- bill@saving money

Is is me or are you guys missing the bigger picture here? Threatening Martial law if you don't pass it? HELLO! We should be in the streets demanding those who did the threatening and calling for Bushs removal with charges of treason! We have a standing army on our soil as of Oct. 1st that is answerable only to still president Bush. Search Naomi Wolf Its damn near a coup.

Disgruntlement in full effect at Rep. Adam Schiff's blog as well.

This bailout is going to make a sick blockbuster movie in 2 years. I hope bruce willis plays Treasury Secretary Paulson.

Startling but hardly surprising. As Charles Bukowski once noted, "The entire world functions on fear."

does it make sense that we are printing up money out of thin air when the country is alreay in debt in the trillions? we will NEVER be able to pay the federal reserve back. this has happened before and its happening again. we need to begin live within our means and become self sufficient.

Definitely the weirdest ancillary story of the bailout.

yet another example of our elected officials acting against the wishes of the voters.
