So, regarding this government fixing the economic problem?

Could you please link to where that quote came from? As for the quote, without reading it in the context it was written, yes, at first it sounds scary. However, given the way things are these days with everything going to court or being subject to review, it may be necessary to include such wording, so that the individual involved can make effective decisions without having their hands tied. It would also be necessary so that they were able to enter into agreements, etc. with another party and the other party be confident that the decision was final. For example, if I want to sell me house and I agree with a buyer to sell my house, the buyer needs to be confident that I am free to make that decision and that someone else (court, review board,etc) won’t decide 6 months later that I was not free to make that decision and now, that someone else (court, review board, etc) decides that I shouldn’t have sold my house and the buyer now has to give back the house, etc, etc.

OOPs. sorry about that. I thought I had. One moment.

I must have deleted more to I see it isn’t in my question up there but this link will explain it.

I am really scared of giving the people who caused this mess a blank check with no recourse for malpractice.

I hate the idea. I think we should all contact our Congressmen and tell them not to let this go through.

Haven’t the Bushies done quite enough?

There was a lot of skepticism on the Hill today during the hearings. i hope it keeps up. There was also a demonstration against it in downtown Orlando today.

The whole idea of Paulson and Bernanke having a blank check to purchase all the “toxic assets” of any type they would like – on my dime – freaks me right out.

This article made me laugh. Headed for a recession? We have arrived in Recession Land folks, been there a while now.

Aw come on. This only adds around $2,293 to the debt already owed by each and every American.

Just let me find my credit card…

@ sacaver – you crack me up. That was Bloomcounty’esque

Hey can I get a blank check with no responsibility attached too? I swear I will not waste it!

Yeah! Give me $700 billion. I’ll fix the ‘conomy, I swear!

I am not good with numbers, but is this like a million dollars for every resident of Alaska?

You know, it’s really quite a good thing and a remarkable coincidence that the White House drafted this plan as a contingency only a few months ago.

”[White House Deputy Press Secretary Tony] Fratto insisted that the plan was not slapped together and had been drawn up as a contingency over previous months and weeks by administration officials.”
