US Bailout package, why it didn't pass?

It will be modified and passed. The problem is that there just wasn't time to get the right amount of pork in the law for the boys in Washington and the folks back home. My goodness they must have exclaimed "almost a trillion dollars going down and we aint got no bridge to no where in it!" The leadership will get them working. Then it will pass. There will be money to study water cress production in the desert, climate change, canals in Nevada, grants for pre-preschools, new stadiums for lawn bowling, everybody will get in on the action. For heavens sake this is the largest appropriation and monetary transfer in the history of mankind and by golly our congressmen are gonna get their share.
