If it passes, it means they are bailing out companies that have made piss poor business decisions and you and I will be paying for it for generations to come. The value of the dollar will fall as the currency inflates and money is literally stolen from every Americans' bank account.
The systems needs a forest fire so to speak and throwing printed money at the problem will only delay the inevitable severe economic hardship. Slow downs in capitalism are not going to be solved with Socialism. The market will correct itself. Intervention is not needed as much as a complete overhaul of economic policy. Instead of throwing money at the problem we should think about smaller government, sound money, drastic spending cuts, tax breaks, and a change in foreign policy (get troops home from around the world - we can't afford it). The NEW American way needs to focus on production and saving instead of borrowing, spending, and consumption. |

Nobody's really getting "paid" from this, but it's more like rescuing the failing financial institutions by absorbing a number of their bad debts.
"The centerpiece of the rescue package is a plan to buy up billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities that banks can’t sell because nobody knows how much they’re worth." -quoted from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26994238/
