It Failed.
I’d like to consider this an open thread – now what do “we” do?
I’ll throw some ideas out there, but I want to hear from others first.

There’s always something to howl about.

I think this quote may show the silver lining in the cloud…
“We’re all worried about losing our jobs,” Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declared in an impassioned speech in support of the bill before the vote. “Most of us say, ‘I want this thing to pass, but I want you to vote for it — not me.’
Its still all politics but at least they are worried about getting voted out!

@ Smithers No credit at the Bull & Bear. The Lehman boys are not buying and the Merrill guys are trying to make it on a bank teller’s salary.

The pigeon can still make a deposit on a BMW.

You put on your big boy pants and go sell a house. What else would we do? 😉

I agree with Wine Dog. Of course AP stories like one I saw this morning stating house prices could fall another 18% because of this certainly won’t spur anything.
