World History
Here is history in the making. The Wall Street Journal has the draft of the Bailout Bill. The text here is the agreed-upon draft of the House Resolution for the 2008 $700 billion economic bailout plan. The final version of this bill, if it passes, is likely to look different.
I have to admit I am skeptical. Is giving the rich people who caused the economic mess in the first place a good use of tax money? Will it even solve the problem? However, will failing to pass this bill cause a recession or depression which will make life tough on the tax payers too? I just do not know. I do not think anyone else does either. When in doubt, maybe it would be best to not throw away $700 Billion?
