I heard a convoluted explanation on MSNBC this afternoon.
Sure.
I was surprised to see my old allergist Kagen-D (Wisconsin)
"As was stated in a letter by nearly 200 economists questioning the fairness of the plan, the proposal was ‘a subsidy to investors at taxpayers’ expense. Investors who took risks to earn profits must also bear the losses."
Hot dang somebody finally gets it right.
Platts said alternative bills -- and not just a rewritten versions of the original bailout proposal -- should get a chance for a house vote.
Platts said the bill that did get to a vote, and was defeated, was too close to the original proposal that put too much taxpayer money at risk and raised the limit on the federal government's debt. >
I wish his office would release stats on how many calls and emails he received from people telling him what they thought about the bail out.
