  3. >>After a week of reversals and intense lobbying, the measure ended up passing comfortably by a vote of 263-171. >>

    Fucking politicians. They'll never have to pay a cent of this. $700,000,000,000.00 for a +100 in the DOW that retreated 30 minutes later into the red? I could have slipped an anonymous tip about the Arabs increasing oil supplies, with the same results!

    In a fantasy world, one where we spend that money on ramping up our military to surpass the Russian challenge, instead of bailing out bankers, I would go for it. But the government is corrupt, so I wouldn't believe them even if they were straight up about it.

    One of the reasons they voted for it was that the market lost "a trillion dollars" worth of value after they voted no the first time. How does it feel to make the market lose "a half trillion dollars+" for voting yes? Idiots.
