was congress right in passing this bill?

Well, honestly I don't know tons about this stuff, but from hearing about it on the news and stuff, I have come to the conclusion that they had to do something. People complain when they do nothing, and they complain when they do this. There is seriously no winning scenario. All anyone can do is hope that this helps. All I know is, people have been unable to get home loans, credit, etc. And that is horrible for people who need to sell their homes also, and I can relate to that first hand, it is not fun sitting around hoping that someone will be able to buy so the money situation gets a little better.

They say we had no choice. I agree there were people and institutions that needed help but they threw on so many additions to give money all over the place that it was out of control. They basically bribed certain members to vote by adding on more and more money for different things that aren't even part of this mess we are in. When it was Congress and their lack of governing that got us into this mess I am not sure why we trust them to start writing blank checks to get us out of it.
