Agree or not with the bailout, this result is the purpose of the House of Reps.
The public was overwhelmingly against it--and they were heard.

4. Hopefully they'll put together "a more sound" package to protect the Middle Class before
they try to bring it back to the floor again. We are paying attention.

7. It likely will be. Not because they didn't pass this bailut but because they have done nothing
about jobs, our draconian tax system that benefits only the wealthy, nothing about health care, haven't resurrected regulations to ensure sound markets etc.

Possibly a bailout is the right thing to do, but not this bailout. It truly is a poor proposal.
