Why would you support another bill being done just as hurriedly and have the same possible effects in an economic fashion?


Exactly. As I mentioned to MEM yesterday, I'm willing to give the democrats who voted agains the bill the same points for listening to their constituents as I give the Republicans.

As for the fact the market dropped, markets go up and down. That's to be expected. And those losses you speak of for the average person, unless that person cashed out yesterday they were only on paper.
