Republicans Fail to Get the Votes, DOW loses most points ever

[A Black Falcon]

I certainly admit that I'm not very good at understanding economic issues, but even so, I don't quite see how doing nothing will help... "government is the problem, not the answer" is just something I completely disagree with. Government is sometimes a problem, but not always. And there doesn't seem to be much of an alternative to doing this... things are going to be really bad either way, but it'll be even worse without this deal. The record 777-plus (the number just keeps going up...) point DOW loss (and even worse losses in credit markets, evidently) is a sign of that.

Hopefully the bill will eventually pass, I think... it is an incredibly large amount of money at stake, but what alternative do we have?
