THE BUSH LEGACY

Need $700 Billion For Bailout... Taliban Thriving In Afghanistan... Bailout Cost $1 Trillion... Iraq Over $1 Trillion... Treasury Secretary: "Financial Security Of All Americans Depends On Our Ability To Restore Our Financial Institutions"... 4161 Soldiers Killed In Iraq...

AND THE REST

Dazed Capital Feels Its Way, Eyes on Election

WASHINGTON — The huge bailout of the financial system that the Bush administration and Congress are rushing to draft will leave taxpayers with at least part of the bill at a time when high gasoline prices, job losses and stagnant incomes have already helped produce an overwhelming sense that the nation is on the wrong track.
Policy makers cannot say where it all ends. News reports are unrelentingly talking of “crisis.” After decades of deregulation and free-market fealty, antiregulation, small-government Republicans are putting the government in control of a big chunk of the financial sector.
All of which has left Washington in the midst of a political convulsion that both parties are struggling to understand and turn to their advantage.

Thank John McCain
