Well, the way it's been reported here -- regardless of twelve Republicans with hurt feelings :p -- the anger at the bailout bill sounds like a Peasants' Revolt from ordinary Americans who are sick and tired of fat cats not taking the rap for this mess and saying, "why the hell should WE pay for the mistakes of a few" :)
We are seeing the fruits of capitalism run completely amok. The chickens have come home to roost with a vengeance. Unfortunately, though, it is the little people who will pay the biggest price. :(
Speaking for myself, I say the US has to do what the US has to do. The deal should have gone through. Too much is at stake. Because if America crashes, we all crash.
Our leaders are in a very sober mood today following what happened in Congress yesterday. David Cameron, leader of the Tory Party, was bang on the money. He said that it was the job of a responsible Opposition to work with the present Labour government if push came to shove, seeing the gravity of the situation we're all facing. That earned him a Brownie point from me.
