Ron Paul to Congress: You’re Going to Guarantee a Depression!

Senate to Revive Bailout Bill Tonight
As predicted earlier this week, the failed bankers and their government enablers won’t take “no” for an answer. Even though the Bailout Bill was soundly defeated by the House on Monday, the Senate still plans to vote on the bill tonight.
How is this even possible?
In circumvention of normal procedures, the Senate merged the Bailout [...]

But the bankers and their allies in Congress won’t take “no” for an answer.
