Bush is pushing for the Senate to confirm more of his nominees for Judges. AND, because the ‘bailout/rescue’ isn’t doing what the politicos said it would do, there is increasing pressure for the House to be called back into session and the Senate to come up with more ‘fixes’.

So ‘we’ -the taxpayers- must keep writing and calling BOTH House and Senate congress critters to DEMAND that they -NOT the FED or the Treasury- come up with plans AND to say to Bush, ‘Look, you’re gone; your policies have done nothing to help American’s and have actually harmed them, so shut up and get your lawyers ready because we WILL be coming after your and your cronies’.

Leave the hope that the election will ‘change things’ and demand that things change because WE want them to change NOW, not after an election.

And the REAL story about the banks "It’s reasonable to assume that the banking system in the North Atlantic region is insolvent and would be bankrupt but for the reality of recent government bailouts and the expectation of future government bailouts.
Certainly, for the system as a whole, the marked-to-market value of its
assets is way below that of its liabilities. I strongly suspect that even the hold-to-maturity value of its assets is well below that of its liabilities.
Although the system as a whole is broke, there are no doubt individual
banks that are solvent. We may not, however be certain as to which banks
are solvent and which banks are not."
