LBC, Isn’t it a bit early since the parameters of the “bailout” haven’t even been outlined with any clarity? Till any taxpayer impact is written into a Congressional Bill, all the protestations may just be some premature noise.
Oh, BTW, if you have to call someone, it is better to call your Congressman & Senator. Tell them you are a Constituent and will consider this issue while voting in 2008. That concentrates their mind mightily. By the time any bill reaches Dubya’s desk, the game is in the last innings.
Another unpleasant thought: A half % cut in FFR by BB has far more impact on the economy than any puny Billion $ bailout attempt.
