If the bailout was just for the rich why did so many Democrats sign on? I was opposed on the basis of it goes against free market basics. I think it must have had something in it for them or it would have not been passed by Congress. As unpopular as Bush is, mostly conservative Republicans and local guys like Filner, who supported his constituency, voted against it. I think it was a smart vote to be against this turkey. No good can come of this big a giveaway.
