I respect your comment. Two days ago I sent an email to my elected representatives saying "I'm okay with a bailout (or whatever term applies), but only if the root cause of the problem is simultaneously fixed in that legislation."
I don't trust Congressional memories longer than the second issue following this one. If a fix doesn't happen now, there will not be one, and the financial hemmorhage just continues.
I just don't understand throwing money at an undefined problem of undetermined cause as solving anything.
If it takes another week to write the legislative fix, so what? Anything other than a fix with the money is just throwing money away.
