Why do you need any? All you need is common sense.

A: These are the ones that created the mess
B: The problem is too much debt
C: They have lied about everything
D: There is a provision in the bill to bail out foreign entities <---real reason E: We can't afford it. F: Why would you give 700 billion to people that obviously can't handle money. Would you give you child a money who just his rent money in Vegas with no questions asked and a provision that you can't ask question later on. When they come at you like a heroin addict needing a fix and threatening your family it's time to say no. The economy is bypassing recession and swan diving head first into depression with our with out the bill.
