senate approves bailout bill
As reported Yesterday night the Senate passed the HR 1424 economic stabilization act. The Bailout Bill which was approved by a majority vote of 75-24 in the senate last night was loaded up with additional measures. It is believed that many of these pork laden measures were designed to put pressure on the House to pass this bill as many of the measures were very popular measures to those who had initially voted against the bill in the first place.
