Bailout FAILS in House - Republican PUMA?

Sep 29, 2008 17:00

Today's vote on the $700 billion band-aid for the economy:

In favor: 205 = 140 Democrats and 65 Republicans
Against: 228 = 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans

This tally was in spite of both Bush and McCain all but begging Congress to support this bill. To which I say to the Republicans in Congress, "OMGWTF???!!!!" Seriously, I thought this damn bill had more support among the Republicans than the Democrats. What the fuck is going on in Washington?

The Dow fell 778 points today, the worst single day point loss EVER. Sonofabitch! I would have been better off putting 5% of my paycheck for the last eight years into a mason jar than into that 401(k).

economy, news, wtf, rant
