US law to rescue markets voted down

[rhythmaning]

Just heard this on BBC radio news...

Not sure what to make of it, but the US markets are down 4%. So that'll be my pension fund down again tomorrow!

I am surprised! But does sniggering slightly make me a bad person?

(I know, I know, it's bad for everyone, but still... snigger)

I think this is a temporary setback, and I think it's a good thing that the government isn't putting us $700 billion in debt for the benefit of greedy stockbrokers. I was so wary of the "we have to do this *now*!" mentality that I usually associate with used car salesmen. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
