POLITICS: Tentative Agreement on $700 Billion Bailout

Was anyone aware that Congress was putting on the concert of the year? Check out the set list:

Wake Up Call-Maroon 5
Congress takes the wake up call that our country is in trouble, that something needs to be done as the economy is slowly collapsing before our own eyes.

Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd
Its the government, they were elected by the people-so they can do whatever they want. Free to spend the people's money and come up with the "best" solution for the country.

Got Money-Lil Wayne
"If you got money, and you know it, take it out your pocket and show it." Well apparently we have $700 billion. Why not show it?

Oops I did it again-Brittany Spears
A rushed decision by the government, sound familiar? Iraq. Patriot Act. Is it third time's a charm? or strike three you're out?!

Well if you don't make it out for the concert, just be aware that a $700 billion dollar plan is about to be passed by Congress to buy frozen stock that is "clogging" our economy. I sure hope the government has it right this time.

$700 billion is nothing to mess with. $250 billion would be available to spend immediately, with $100 billion more left in Bush's discretion. The rest would be slowly dispersed if necessary. 

Maybe I should get my passport before the lines get too long...

Good thing I don't budget my money like our government does. You can google the "Redistribution Act"-created under Carter, enhanced by Clinton. It mandated lending institutions to lend money for housing to lower income, higher risk people.
