68% of the democrats voted for it, 33% of the republicans were for it. Sure seems like the republicans were more responsible for its defeat.

Some people seem ideologically opposed to this economic proposal. How can anyone in good conscience say we will be better off with massive unemployment, loss of savings and retirement plans, etc. I'm better off growing vegetables in my yard than having the money to buy them?

It appears as if this is such an anti governmental, anti big business attitude that is so pervasive that some are unwilling to view the consequences in an objective light.

Do those opposed to the current plan believe we should let the economy sink, or are there other plans which may encourage economic recovery. All I've seen from the opposition are statements against the "bailout" and some minimal plans which the current Republican administration state are insufficient to provide the resources needed to address the issues.
