Newt Gingrich was on last night and explained it as a "loan" rather than " a bailout" and the Republicans are revolting against giving ACORN 20% of the 700B. I hope they hold to it.
Its better than that. Its insurance against true default and the investors have to pay the premium.
I'm proud to say that MY rep Eric Cantor is the force behind this !
I knew that they had alternatives that they could get nobody to listen to but not much in the way of specifics till today. McCain made them have to listen. Quietly. Of course the babies had to cry a bit but the steady hand held the class together and now things can proceed.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

The other kills her own food.
