Bailout Plan details thread?

As many of you know, I don't spend a lot of time in the Politics forum but I'm interested if there has been a discussion of the points of the bailout plan?

I wasn't for it based on the parts I heard. Anyone have a breakdown?

I'll try to find the most succinct description of what the plan is.

It doesn't matter in that form but I'm certain that the bailout isn't completely dead at this point. It will continue to be debated.

There was so much garbage added in the last few days I doubt anyone knows the true scope of this proposal, outside of the white house.

I am very much hoping new and better proposals are now going to get considered.

It disturbs me a bit that I got that.

I am interested in this thread as well. I am no financial guru, but the level of angst by the "money guys" in this forum has me a tad uneasy.

Here's the draft of the Bill - maybe not the summary that you were looking for.

I jumped out my office window, but I'm on the ground floor so I went to lunch.

From all of the details I heard about the plan, to me it sounded to be like a blueprint for tyrannical socialism.

unfortunetly it is. but unfortunetly it's been screwed up so much at this point that we have no choice but to do this. we've reached the point of no return.

We have many rules set up for tyrranical socialism if the gov't goes awry.

New admin. is very likely to exacerbate that little problem.
