Note: The title includes a play on the term "Breaking News" so beloved by TV news programs with too much time to fill and too little talent to fill it intelligently.
In a vote which stunned the major media and Wall Street, but was somewhat less stunning to the average American, the House of Representatives did the right thing today and put the brakes on the outrageous Wall Street bail-out plan put forward by former Wall Street executive, Henry Paulson. Really, this vote was the only thing the Representatatives could, in good conscience, do.
But we must not think that the oligarchs will be satisfied. They will come at this again in some form or other. We the citizens must be watchful and wary of their tactics. I advise calls of thanks to Congressmen and -women who voted against this bill.
