Political questions about the bailout


...and a few short answers

I want to wrap up this bailout coverage.

Now the bailout fallout coverage, that I'll be writing about for years...

Seriously though, there are some political questions that should be asked.

What's the rush?

This is probably the most important one. A big part of the answer is that no politico wants this to be a part of the election debate this season, especially if they are an incumbent. But another part of the answer is that Congress doesn't want you to take too close a look.

Why do the Democrats need the Republicans if they have a majority in both houses of Congress?

I think Rush Limbaugh asked this one first. The Democrats want to spread the blame and shift as much of it as they can to the Republican side of the aisle, especially since it is "social democracy" that is largely responsible for the problems?

Why isn't anyone talking about the third alternative, DOING NOTHING?

Because that would show the American People that the free market can take care of itself as long as government doesn't get involved.
