How many times, the US budget plan were passed with dirty pork barrel deals stuck in in the last minute and NO one can actually read it and understand it? Have to check the DERIVATIVES on that. But yes, on every bill I believe...

That's exactly right. If something cannot stand up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny, then it will be exposed as the fraud it is given even a modest amount of time. Do it in less than a week, before the rabble find out that they get NOTHING in return. Otherwise, letters to the editor by informed readers have a chance to be mailed in, or those know-it-alls get air time on talk radio, or who knows what? Way too much risk. Get the trillion+ NOW or the plan won't work. And for added incentive, we'll spring the trap when Congress has just a week left in session. Why are the auto companies getting a loan? Why aren't the just being given money, too? The richest group of people (thanks to their toxic financial products -- modern day snake oil) actually need to be given all this money? Here's how the call from the head of the billionaires (King Henry) may have gone: "We're sorry we need so much money, but we can't accept a loan nor allow you to take an equity stake. We've gambled away so much, you would get the lion's share of future profits, and that is com-PLETELY UN-acceptable to us. You must GIVE us the cash, or EVERYBODY gets hurt. You have 144 hours to give us the cash."
