God have mercy on American commerce

I'm watching the House vote on the bailout package. There's no time remaining, but the vote's being held open while their leaders kick the 132 Republicans and 94 Democrats who voted nay in their stupid, scared, ideological shins to change the vote as it stands now at 207 for the bailout and 226 against. Needless to say the Dow is down 500 points. zOMG. Can we give these 226 assholes a quick course in American economic history, 1928-1933. No bailout equals Hoover equals bad, bad shit. Yes bailout equals Roosevelt equals some degree of recovery. If the Roosevelt plan of action had prevailed in 1929, the whole mess of the thirties might have been averted or made much less severe--like, you know, the people starving and the intranational refugees and the epic, legendary misery. Fuck the sixty percent of the country that opposes the bailout. They're ignorant, seriously. I understand their objections to the unfairness of seemingly "bailing out" Wall Street, but this is the credit market completely ceasing to function and that means banks unable to function, businesses unable to play their employees, mass layoffs, mass closing of businesses, Armageddon, rivers of blood, the opening of the seventh seal, half an hour of silence in Heaven and Earth, the dead raised from their graves...

Oh good Christ voting has closed it has failed. Put on your Sunday best for the Rapture!
