Amongst those who have not just said "what we need is any old bill" are people like Ross Perot, who at http://perotcharts.com/ et sequitor articulates what...left only with the current and prior bailouts as choices...seems to be an effective option which would cost people a lot less; I recall we do all have to live off a very tightly controlled and statistically small money supply, and we all know credit will be the answer just like it was with every other "bailout" and "economic stimulus" based on "future refunds".

 

Most notably, Mr. Perot makes the keen point that essentially mortgages, already proven to be the largess of recurring "little guy" failures usually due to lack of sufficient income opportunities as "refi is BETTER than equity, credit cards better than jobs or good pay" becomes the norm, will provide the rock-solid payback...um, isn't the LACK of anybody paying on such things what CAUSES every modern financial crisis?

 

Perhaps...if "all we need is ANY bill"...someone could explain why only bills say giving $180 billion now to Hollywood producers and otherwise lining non-general circulation/investment pockets will be considered; makes it sound like the intent is if any money will make it to some lucky little guy here or there, it will be on elastic from one expanding an orthodoxy fiefdom, like the reward to media for producing only things which "back up" people in the West are slutty, meth-running, cursing Dexter mongers without a shred of Godly decency (or whatever invidious fingerpointings will be required ala Goebbels, Baghdad Bob, Leni Riefenstahl, et al)...and for failing to produce a thing which tells THEIR life stories, or has cameras pan across the actual country (as opposed to manipulable online virtual earth) to otherwise show how media hype and politics match up to everyday life.

 

Of course, Congress and the White Hosue can say their only jobs are to send money to States and Towns as it's left over, but other than salaries for officials, how much CAN be left over? Perhaps McCain, Obama, Palin, and Biden will give us their own charts and graphs telling us how the "must-have" bill isn't Bush's Third Term, and how it take care of all without price increases or further job or salary cuts anywhere at all, plus increase trade between us and nations overseas.

 

I ask as "shaddup, ixnay! It'll woik dis time, youse guys! Oooh...I AM cuter'n McCain, huh?" seems non-confidence inspiring as media cropping and expansion of State/local eminent domain and say-so martial powers...against no particular enemy(ies)...loom.
