House passes the $700B+ bailout deal (updated)

[Balt]

Pelosi is currently speaking on the House floor. I wonder if she will manage not to 'sabotage' it this time?

Edit: Updated the title

 

[ElFenix]

she should blame republicans for the last one failing

 

[Eeezee]

I hope she does - fuck the bailout bill

 

[NoStateofMind]

fuckin punks are gonna pass it.

 

[Balt]

They've got about 13 minutes left to vote during the official time.

 

[Thump553]

You can watch the tally here.

The sad thing is if this bailout passes and jobs aren't created, banks continue to fail, and we still reach a major depression (which will be a magnitude longer than it needs to be) I won't bother saying I told you so because its not going to matter. We'll still continue justifying theft from others using whatever means possible (the government in this case) as long as we stand something to gain. Its a horrible way to live.

121-57 so far (in favor).

 

[JoeFahey]

It will pass, and thank god it will.

Why does America always think in short term? Uggh...

Bailout = dumb.

 

[brencat]

We need a miracle now...I hope this damn thing fails.

 

[SP33Demon]

Stupid pricks will pass it.

Edit: Nevermind, corrected.

 

[Balt]

It's gonna pass. They only need like 20 more votes out of 130 left.

How ironic that opponents may end up wishing the first one without $150B in extra pork would have passed instead.

Anyone miss the little gem from the FED last week? I think it was $600 billion in "liquidity" infused to the system. How long till our dollar is worth pesos?
