WASHINGTON (AP) - With the economy on the brink and elections looming, Congress approved an unprecedented $700 billion government bailout of the battered financial industry on Friday and sent it to President Bush for his certain signature.
The final vote, 263-171 in the House, a comfortable margin that was 58 more votes than it garnered on Monday. The vote capped two weeks of tumult in Congress and on Wall Street, punctuated by daily warnings that the country confronted the gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression if lawmakers failed to act.
Bush was poised to make a statement on the historic vote.
Well folks, That's it. The US government now on the path to socialism. We have been betrayed by both the Republicans and Democrats all for the mighty dollar.
"How can we have capitalism on the way up and socialism on the way down," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, a leader among conservative Republicans who oppose the central thrust of the legislation—an unprecedented federal intervention into the private capital markets.
Simple... you can't.
Pelosi said, "We must win it for Mr. and Mrs. Jones on Main Street."
You should have thought of this before we got into this situation you dumb :censored: :censored: . Instead when it was brought up several times in teh past years your side called them racist and claimed they were trying to lynch people. You and your ilk should be a shamed of yourselves.
Rep. Elijah Cummings and Donna Edwards, both Maryland Democrats, were among them. They said Obama had pledged if he wins the White House that he would help homeowners facing foreclosure on their mortgages. He also pledged to support changes in the bankruptcy law to make it less burdensome on consumers.
"It's not too often you get the future president telling you that his priority matches your priority," said Cummings.
You stupid :censored: :censored:!! If you listened to Obama, every GD thing is a priority to him when he wants something done. I swear some of the people in teh black caucus are F stupid.
They have betrayed the American people, our children and the principles of the founding fathers. Elections are coming up and this betrayal will not be forgotten.
