It's going to take a long time to get it sorted out with or without something passing in the Congress. I have no doubt they will go back to the drawing board and something will pass. They just can't let it go.

My Congressman that I sent my email to, voted no. An article in today's paper, he stated he was flooded with phone calls and emails by the thousands from his constituents telling him to vote no. So, he listed to the voters. Every member of the House is up for reelection, so that is probably what happened in a lot of instances.

I even heard on CNN last night from several analysts that the primary reason for its defeat was the timing. If it had been presented after the November election it would have probably passed. So, you can believe all the rhetoric you want to and the BS they are handing it. Basically, it's all about them wanting to get reelected.

I still believe that if they just drop this hot potato, things will work out. There will be ups and downs, but that's gonna happen whether they do anything or not. We are still in for a long recession. Bailing out a few failed banks ain't gonna change that.
