The 200,000 figure I got from somewhere but it was registered voters. Just because you're over 65 doesn't mean you can't vote. And of course that figure went up with the added pork. It really doesn't matter. Who knows. It's just an estimated figure. Nobody knows how this thing is going to turn out, but if I were a betting man, I would bet it is gonna be worse than what they estimate. Not less. And, the bottom line, is we're still gonna be in a recession for sometime to come. Did anybody notice on Monday when the House voted it down, the market dropped 770 points. When it went to a vote today, the market was up around 250 points and when they passed it ended up down some 150 plus points. Go figure. Probably the smart money knows this bailout ain't gonna do one thing to heal this ailing economy.
