Wamp predicts bailout plan will pass

Included in this article

WASHINGTON — Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., said this morning that the Wall Street bailout bill has enough votes to pass.

House leaders are expected to bring the bill up for a vote early this afternoon.

“I believe there is enough movement on both sides” to pass the bill, Rep. Wamp said after leaving a meeting of House Republicans, according to Reuters.

Proponents of the bill need at least 12 House members to switch their “no” votes from Monday’s 228-205 defeat.

The Senate passed a revised version Wednesday night, 74-25.

The $700 billion bailout bill would allow the federal government to purchase distressed debt from shaky financial firms to steady the credit markets.

Saw the fool Wamp on BBC broadcast of the rip off. This guy needs to be tossed out..He was ranting about "we must pass this as there is no gasoline in SE TN".. Folks that fools does not seem to be understand the gas shortage had ZERO to do with the Wall ST/banker welfare plan his "campaign contributors" and special interests set up. NOTE this was run same was a "build up to Iraq".. Lies used to scare the public and a "we must pass this now for the nation. THE ONLY reason for "rush" was so the Swineate and House of Reprehensibility could get about third five week vacation..as their job was cutting into their play itme. Same spin and nearly same scrips and lobby tactics used for this grand theft as for Iraq, right down to the "must pass now" that wss set up just before the useless 535 went on another election cycle.. and about same cost.. $700,000,000.00... and this gang of economic thugs now say' "We HOPE it will work as no time left and we must pass it now?".. $700 BIL and "WE HOPE?" Time to toss out ANY that voted for this one... new folks could do no worse. and McCain/Obama BOTH says "no more pork" and $1.5 BILLION worth of pork in the BILL. so we also need new pres candidates on BOTH side.. But predictably the citizens will act like stupid herds of sheep and send same folks back..so we get what we ask for..as dumbed down sheep never do much then bleat and graze as the wolves feed..Yep Wamp the Bill was going to solve gas shortage in TN.. what a fool he is, kind of telling world how smart TN really is...$700B to solve gas shortage that is not related????
