The deficit is a big deal but it seems that if both Dems and Reps can agree on something they are either strange bedfellows (they all stand to lose alot) or something else weird.

unfortunatley Congress has figured out that money is just paper. they can print more of it. the bailout as they are talking about it, will most likely make money for the government. they will buy these securities above market value but below actual value (this is because of strange mark to market rules) and then eventually they will sell those assets for a profit.
there is another shoe here. i forget exactly what its called but basically these hedge funds and banks have some kind of asset protection racket to the tune of 34 TRILLION dollars. if that bit goes south, nothing can be done.
