Why the GOP Plan Won't Work
House Republicans would create a new batch of AIG-type debt.


I'm really angry that the conservative/repuglicans and playing politics with my 401K.
I don't have a pension, this is my retirement. They could care less about the average guy. How
Democrats have the votes to pass the plan as is, so it's not just the Republicans playing politics. If they actually think it'll work, they should bring it to a vote and do it already (Bush has already said he wants this plan, so he won't veto it).
What the article actually referred to was the NEW proposal by the House Republicans who walked out on the discussion of the Bush proposal. Of course the democrats don't want to be solely responsible for passing the Bush supported *republican* piece of legislation which will clean up the mess created over the last 8 years by awful policy decisions by the current republican administration.
Basically the house republicans want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to deregulate the heck out of wall street and then when it comes back to bite them, they want the democrats to pass a widely unpopular piece of legislation to clean up their mess! So they come up with this ridiculous new proposal that won't work to force the democrats hands into passing this legislation so that they keep their hands clean. It's political posturing, it's despicable, and it's selfish. They are not thinking about America - they are thinking about themselves. Period.
