PassedOut Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Still, he made enough money at Goldman Sachs so that he will always live very well. Which is, of course, a terrible crime, not to be borne. Really? What punishment do you propose? If you consider Paulson a criminal, aren't there many others equally guilty? I live pretty well myself, and would hate to be considered a criminal for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOut Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Would you know if there were any that voted yes to the first one but no to this one of those 171? The only vote change from yes to no that I know of so far was by Jim McDermott, democrat from Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks. btw any thoughts on how they "knew" so quickly how to "fix" the problem? Any chance that when the deregulated that they anticipated the eventual mess and decided that if (when) it happened that they would just leverage our future instead?

I guess I should have raised the sarcasm flag, or something. :P I don't consider Paulson — or anybody else — a criminal just because he made enough money that he will always live very well. I'm sure, though, that there are those here who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 The house voted 263 to 171 to pass the senate version of the bailout. All it took was an extra $100 billion in pork. yes... hard to imagine that swung it, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwstofLime Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 HOUSE PASSES! Everyone knows the ad "vise"--"Follow the money." We also know the old adage "Paybacks are a bitch." btw US Congressman Tiahrt from Kansas voted "no" and "no" again. No point in my writing a state government grant application for a red Ferrari to take the kids to school who live on my block. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
