Bailout

The Senate is about to vote on the latest version of the Emergency Economic Recovery Bill.

Anyone care to vote on the outcome? This is not whether you think it's a good bill or not, or whether you think it should pass or not, just whether you think the Senate will pass it.

Leave your vote (yea or nay) in comments. If you want, add more comment, but be sure
Yea or Nay is on the first line.

Update: I was right, it passed 75-24. On to the House vote, probably Friday, I understand.

Okay, since no one was able to get their vote in, you now have until the vote on Friday to answer the question:

Will the House pass this bill? Yea or Nay

Remember, this is not if the bill
should pass or not, just whether you think the House will pass it. If you want to comment, go ahead, just make sure to put your vote Yea or Nay on the first line of your comment.


I'll go first:

Yea

There's enough pork attached to this bill, and probably more to be added to the House version, that the House will pass it. That's one of the things that was "wrong" with the first version: it didn't have enough pork attached for the House to approve it. 

After all, isn't the point of being elected is to bring home the pork to the people back home so those same people can be even more burdened with Federal debt??

Update: As expected, the bill passed the House and has been signed by the President.

I hope this wasn't a huge mistake.
