Can you say "how about nationalizing the lending institutions?" ?

Check out this site…I don't have the individual article link at the moment and am short time, but it's the article on Dodd.

He's changed something and I find his site slow loading, but you can stop the load as soon as you see the main page and still access the entire article. If you stop the load, and want to comment, you have to open the comment window in a new page.

@spoots –

Notice the point of he plan to which he's objecting. He's fine with the bailout, he is miffed that the Treasury Secretary gets control of things. He wants the money to go out, but under his conditions, with him in charge.

Yeah, he's fine with bailing out Wall Street.

I have also read a few articles that are saying Dodd opposes this, I don't know what the hell to believe anymore, but I will say this:

THIS IS BULLSHIT!!

I have had it with the fucking government. Damn it to hell, I'm so mad I can't see straight.

J: "Democrats, who would usually be against something like this, seem fine with it"

Is this how you define "fine with it"?

“What they have sent us is not acceptable,” the committee chairman, Senator Christopher J. Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, told The Associated Press.
…
Senator Dodd called the Treasury proposal “stunning and unprecedented in its scope and lack of detail.”
Asserting that the plan would allow Mr. Paulson to act with “absolute impunity,” Senator Dodd said, “After reading this proposal, I can only conclude that it is not only our economy that is at risk, Mr. Secretary, but our Constitution, as well.”
