The single most insightful comment about the bailouts actually came from a conservative...
"The last time I was given a deal and told I had to "act now", I was on a used car lot."
Exactly and how many suckers are out there that snap those offers up. I have a feeling that some polititions are afraid if they do not go for the bailout then they are not getting elected again because the public is so un informed about the issues they are going to blame there congress critter for not "doing what needed to be done"
