Newspeak in Washington, D.C.: RESCUE not BAILOUT. And the government is not SPENDING but INVESTING the $700 billion. Yeah, investing in a rescue...
In any event, the Senate passed 74:25 (Sen Kennedy to ill to attend) a changed version of the government charity bill with many new tax breaks and other distractions tacked on (oh, 200 billion dollars more...you know, hundred billion here, hundred billion there, and soon we are talking serious money...) The House is voting on Friday morning and the passage is not certain.
