HR1424 – House Passes Bailout Bill

It has just come to our attention that the House of Representatives has passed the HR 1424. With a 263 vote in favor of the bill it was finally passed in the house of representatives after being laden with other measures that the House really wanted to pass.

The plan was initially shot down in the house of representatives by a slim margin. The senate than took another look and added it to the HR1424 with some enticing bills. They then sent it back to the house to vote on today.

Senate Bailout Bill
