well, if you ask me, it's cuz they been giving everybody such an AF'n, that they are actually getting tired out, and would be quite happy to go home and sleep it off and rest up for a little while. currently, I am working closely with my direct representatives in these high-level talks, to get language inserted that grants RussellDaytrade 0% gov guaranteed loans of 100M, in 25M tranches, that endure the life of the bailout program, (which are transferable and willable to next-of-kin). The language-insertion process is proving to involve a fair amount of 'lubrication', (in the form of vasoline), and my rep has informed me that I may have to have some delivered air-courier, as there seems to be a 'run' n these resources of late in DC. As I write, I am arranging for an emergency shipment of this most valuable commodity. It is my understanding that it is legal to traffic in vasoline, and make a 'black-market' in it, (so long as it is confined to the DC municipal limits. I hope to make good dough playing the spread.
The people are an ass. They should have risen up in outrage instead of PARTICIPATING in a giant ponzi scheme. They are lucky they aren't eating bark off a tree. Anyone that doesn't see that, is , a people.
In answer to the original question. They need a solution before Monday's open because of the rampant scaremongering that they have been indulging in. While the internet may have had lively debate the main media is monopolized by the "good and great" alerting us to the financial armageddon. (& not in order to advance their own financial interests, please don't be so cynical!) Anyway, the world is going to end, "credit markets will explode" (according to cnbc) if the bail out is completed in time. & more importantly the goldman bonus pool will be severely dented. We can't let that happen -don't you people have a heart??? http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a6a6nqXGVdZY
