[Vision2020] US House Votes Against Bailout

[Kai Eiselein, Editor]

I can just hear the cell phones ringing like crazy on Capitol Hill.
Congressman: "Hello?"
Wall Street Fat Cat: "What happened Congressman (insert name here)?
Congressman: "Well, ummm, I got a lot of flak from back home."
MSFC: "Let me tell you something, boy, those chumps in flyover land don't mean diddly squat in the grand scheme of things, I've got a place on Martha's Vineyard that needs to be renovated and a yacht that's being refitted."
Congressman: "I'm sorry, sir."
WSFC: "You and your friends had better get something passed, or else."
Congressman: "Or else, what, sir?"
WSFC: "Or else you won't get the nice, all expense paid junket to the Cayman Islands. And I'll stop setting you up with those pretty interns."
Congressman: "Don't worry sir, we'll get you covered."

The US House had voted against the bailout when I first posted on this subject.  History.  This was based on "live" coverage of the US House floor on CNBC, with a running vote tally being taken. There was later a small vote correction that did not alter the outcome.

When you posted about the live CNN stream, the bailout had already been voted down.  Apparently, the "live CNN stream" is not so "live."

The latest news is that the US House leadership plans a second attempt to pass the bailout bill.

The Dow is now down about 450 points...
