Reports that it may not go through. Does it hurt? Would it help? Thoughts/opinions?

Helps now, hurts the younger generation and tax payers many years from now.

I think it's a complete waste of our tax dollars as well as the taxes of several generations to come. But of course, by then, the US will be a non-player. Why is it my responsibility to help bail out a bunch of thieves and incompetents? I say we go to DC, drag the whole lot out and tar and feather them. The only thing to save us now is complete revolution.

That AH that ran Freddie escaped with $90 mil, $100,000 per month retirement, plus numerous other perks. He should have his head slammed under the train.
