Senate set to Block Bailout Funds


A Senate fight looms Thursday over President-elect Barack Obama's attempt to secure the second half of the $700 billion financial rescue package.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced Wednesday night that the Senate would vote on a resolution that seeks to block the release of $350 billion. - CNNMoney Story

It is about time that they start monitoring what the heck they are doing with all of this money. With all of the bailouts and Stimulus packages they have thrown away at least a Trillion Dollars. At a Trillion Dollars, that is nearly $8,000 for every person that voted in the last election. If they go through with the next rounds of Stimulus, another Trillion Dollars, that would be $16,000 for every voter. I know that if they would give each and every person that voted $16,000 that sure would help the economy.
