Clinton: 'It Sounds Dire, But Commerce Could Stop'
Says She Understands The Concerns Of 'Innocent Taxpayers,' But A Possible 'Recession Impacts Everyone'
WASHINGTON (CBS/AP)
WCBSEXCERPT: ― Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says the U.S. Senate may have to lead the way in passing a $700 billion Wall Street bailout package, now that the House has rejected the measure.
"I certainly would support the Senate going first, so long as we have the votes ... as early as tomorrow if that's what would make this process successful," Clinton told reporters by phone Tuesday.
The New York Democrat, who nearly won her party's presidential nomination, said she believes public opposition to the bailout deal may be weakening after the market reacted badly to the failed House vote Monday and more businesses express worries about the future.
"It sounds dire but there is a risk that commerce could grind to a halt," she said.
END EXCERPT
Really, nothing will be bought or sold? Not food? Not drugs? Nothing? No shit?
This woman almost got the Democratic nomination for the PRESIDENCY and she thinks commerce could STOP.
Commerce could never stop. It just flat isn't possible.
