The "nay" vote heard around the world

The biggest drop ever follows divided House's rejection of a $700 billion bailout plan. Are you surprised of the outcome? D 140 Y and 95 N
R 65 Y and 133 N

The Dow plunges 778 points - biggest point drop ever. Enough to wipe out 1.2 trillion in stock market wealth.

I am very suprised. I figured it would pass. With the markets spinning downward, I didn't expect the government to just sit back and watch. We'll see what comes of it I guess.

Dont you see?! Its the government that screws the market up! If they did just sit back and watch, it could be the best gosh darn thing to happen to this country since the signing of the constitution!

There should be no bailout. If there is a bailout we will be back in the same boat in ten years. I was suprised it didnt go through though. Our gov. needs to figure out this economy promblem quick!

the bail out is a big joke to me. everyone believes that its goin to save them but for how long. it also adds to the national debt that has accumulated over the years. who cares right let it build up and build up. the world is gonna end one day then all that money wont mean anything
