Bye Bye Banks and Wall Street

[JWBear]

My mother called me. The conversation went like this:

Mom: "If those Democrats don't agree to pass the bail-out, I'm going to lose all my money!"

JW: "Mom, it's the Republicans in Congress that are holding it up."

Mom: "That's not true. The News (meaning Fox News) said it was the Democrats. If they don't agree to it, the stock market will crash!"

JW: "No mom, it's the Republicans in the House."

Mom: "Are you sure? Why would the Democrats want to pass it? They all want us to be communists."


<<Sigh>> She drank the Cool-Aid decades ago....

If the Dems want to pass it they can pass it.....they have a majority, no Senate Republican would dare to fillibuster and the President is eager to sign.

What's stopping them?
