Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings and Rep. Donna Edwards, who had voted against the House version of the Wall Street bailout (or rescue, if you prefer), voted for the revised bailout bill produced by the Senate.
I’m thinking Rep. Cummings and Rep. Edwards had it right the first time. But with the whole world apparently succumbing to economic panic, who knows? Maybe the brain trust from Goldman Sachs knows. I hope so.
The only Maryland congressman voting “No” on the Senate bill was Rep. Roscoe Bartlett. Rep. Bartlett, please call the Treasury Department. They may need your help. — Bernie Hayden

Tired of Bankers having all the fun.
Bailout! The Game the hilarious parody of the government bailout where when you lose, you win. In this role reversal of the classic board game debt is king.
Bailout! The Game gives you an endless supply of T.A.R.P funds, laughs and fun.
Be the bank, lose billions and get a bailout.
Play as one of six banks: Bankruptcy O’ America, Worth Farless, No Cashvia, Liquidation Brothers, Greedy Investors of America, or Washed Up Mutual.
Land on or pass over Frantic May and Frivolous Mac spaces and get slammed with bad debt.(MBS’s and CDO’s)
Just as Monopoly was born out of the Great Depression, Bailout! The Game was born out The Great Recession.
