I can not believe what I just ready from a Forbes article (http://www.forbes.com/home/2008/09/23/bailout-paulson-congress-biz-beltway-cx_jz_bw_0923bailout.html)written last week;

In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy.

"It's not based on any particular data point," a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. "We just wanted to choose a really large number."

Someone has some 'slpaining to do. Any comment Mr. Paulson?

i don't think this thread got the attention it deserved. i read it but i didn't have anything to say other than "what what what what what the fuck?" so i didn't reply, but damn!

They mentioned on CNN tonight after it passed Congress ... its actually going to be a lot less.

Yeah ... Bush pulled the figure out his ass ... Maybe he wants to pocket the difference for retirement.
