It passed 263-171 so I'm saying there is equal blame here.

I know what you're trying to insinuate here but don't forget your white knight in shining armor John McCain was taking full credit for leadership in getting this abysmal bill passed. My Senator, Russ Feingold, was one of 25 Senators that voted against it. I emailed both of my Senators and my Congresswoman begging them to vote against this and I'm asking you if you did the same? If so, OK I'll listen to your take on this. If not, ...............

Here's Russ's response to me-
Michael,

"I will oppose the Wall Street bailout plan because though well intentioned, and certainly much improved over the administration’s original proposal, it remains deeply flawed. It fails to offset the cost of the plan, leaving taxpayers to bear the burden of serious lapses of judgment by private financial institutions, their regulators, and the enablers in Washington who paved the way for this catastrophe by removing the safeguards that had protected consumers and the economy since the great depression. The bailout legislation also fails to reform the flawed regulatory structure that permitted this crisis to arise in the first place. And it doesn’t do enough to address the root cause of the credit market collapse, namely the housing crisis. Taxpayers deserve a plan that puts their concerns ahead of those who got us into this mess."
