Is anybody watching the hearing?

[georgiapeach]

Bring in the pikes!!

 

[Ack]

Almost every senator who speaks is starting out by saying how upset their constituents are over the proposed bailout.

 

[georgiapeach]

Which is good! I'm glad to hear that people let them know about it, and they are publicly admitting it.

 

[Cinderella]

yea now harry reid is saying all the democrats want to pass this bill & that its for the good of the people

 

[ItsTime]

They dont care what you think. They will do what they want or what they are told.

Paulson's testimony to Senate Banking Committee

Bernanke's testimony to Senate Banking Committee

Hehe good morning Mrs.D!

This guy has made some very good points. This bailout won't make anything go away, just move it from one place to another. Whoa! He just called it like it is.

Was that Brown of OH? I didn't catch much, but he sounded good until the end when he was wimping about oversight.

Mrs. D. sounded like she is on our side. She's pretty foxy for an old lady, eh?

Hard to listen while I work.

It was Brown from Ohio. He seemed a bit mad, eh?

Polls are retarded.

Zogby says their poll has it at 50%

Did Bunning speak yet?

 

[moostraks]

Yahoo finance top article..."Stocks Rise as Investors Track Hearing on Bailout- AP"
Funny must not be liking what is being said in last few minutes...earlier gains are falling.

 

[Pete]

Bunning was great, and I wish I had a YouTube. He branded it as financial socialism.

This is true.

"Do you support the government raping of the American tax payers to benefit Wall Street investors?"

or

"Do you agree that the government needs to bail out our financial system to avoid a decade-long Great Depression?"

Paulson just said that the root of the problem lies in Congressional charters from many, many years ago.

Yeah, but not the one he's talking about. The real Congressional charter that caused problems is not Freddie/Fannie. It's the FED, STUPID!

How much you want to bet that the constituents contacting their Congressmen are running a lot closer to the 7% than the 50%.

 

[georgiapeach]

Who's yapping now? I missed the intro.

Paulson just said that he WANTS Congressional oversight. That's like sending a rent-a-cop to break up a hostage situation. CONGRESSIONAL oversight? That's an oxymoron, based on what I've seen from the 110th Congress. Yeah, like he wouldn't claim EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE????????
