Holy crap. What's Plan B??

Uh oh. Time to get a helmet.

 

[LakeAriel]

I don't know what plan B will be, but the people on the unemployent lines may look different tomorrow then they did yesterday..We will all be hurting, but maybe as a society we need to feel it across the board and fix what is clearly broken!

Very scary!

Get cash now! If you have money in a bank you may want to liquidate some ASAP. Cash is king.

Not good.

I know the Republicans weren't satisfied that it was the best bill possible, but what exactly was the sticking point??

Democrats: Yea - 141; Nay - 94
Republicans: Yea - 66; Nay - 132
Totals: Yea - 207; Nay - 226
The House needs 217 votes to pass the bill.

What are these guys doing? Pass this thing already. Warren Buffet endorses it, that's all I need to know.

OP

Way to send everyone into a panic. There's been no mention of it failing yet, just that the market is falling.

yes it was the preliminary vote but still not a good sign.

Add tinfoil.

Any "bailout" had to remove some of the "reforms" from the past 30 years that caused this mess, imo.

No, the vote is going on no, and it is going down. There is no time remaining and they are still working on it, but it looks like its going down, unless they can get 10 people to switch votes.

Looks like a majority of the House Republicans think going against Bush now, will win them re-election.

All I know - this is my retirement that they are gambling with (401k). And I am NOT amused.......

Watch - people may actually start a run at the banks.......

All over the news here in DC that it's failing.

FYI - Pelosi is leaving the vote open to try to swing enough votes. Last time they did this, the vote was open for hours.

Let's hope this is just a political game of chicken leading to a passing vote.
