Where's the urgency for the 700b?

Hi Everybody,

I must say that considering the urgency of passing a 700billion dollar bailout bill (number just taken out of the air according to a spokeperson of the treasury), even to the extremes of threatening Senators with Martial Law if it wasn't approved and with everybody screaming 'HELP', I find it ironic that President George Bush in an interview yesterday, when pressed about where the money was going to, seemed, at the very least reluctant to 'spend' the money.

He affirmed that the government needed to study which banks really needed the money.

So now the scenario is that the government doesn't know which banks need the money.

Errr....Hellloooo....does anybody smell a rat here, or is it my sweaty feet!

Best regards,

Steve
