Holy s*** !

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    The 700 billion septic bank.

    Wow, didn't expect that. Watching the DOW to see how it'll react. Will be interesting to see if the FTSE drops futher at opening tomorrow.

    I'm sure they'll pass something eventually. Maybe not as much though. The longer it takes, the more domino's will fall though.

    Down down over 600pts immediately.

    Now they are saying it's still 'open' and efforts are being made to get people to change their mind!

    Doesn't seem very democratic to me.

    They should not be trying to get people who voted to change their mind!

    What if the the bill was approved? Would there be another chance to change approvers minds? Noooooo.....

    I agree - the bill was probably the lesser of two evils but it seems there's a fair bit of chicanery being employed to bring about the 'right' result.
