I hadn't looked at CNN lately. Interesting.

I'm of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it's going to raise all kinds of economic hell if things melt down that badly- but on the other hand, we're already in a world of debt thanks to Dubya's foreign policy of "Yee-Haw!" Adding this tax burden to us would have been extremely bad. Besides, those of us who have lived within our means and have good credit should not have to bail out the banks that pushed credit onto those that they knew would be unable to pay.

I'm scared, but at the same time I'm somewhat relieved that a load of hastily cobbled together legislation didn't go through. I'd rather they sat back and thought about it first.
