I don’t think that spending bill will get 60 votes in Senate. Bush’s threat is good but won’t be needed.

But in the scheme of things, $900M is really small potatos. Even @ $100K a pop, they can help a maximum of 9000 homeowners. There are that many troubled borrowers in a Town. This is a Trillion $ mess; A Billion $ is only sufficient for wallpaper to cover the real cracks.
