Senate Stuff tonight?

What's this senate stuff likely to do tonight? Have they set it after hours to prevent the markets going too crazy?

All I can find out is "Late on Wednesday"

Still will need to get passed by the the House of Representatives, so another yo yo day tomorrow till approved by both houses.

Getting it passed by the Senate was not deemed the larger obstacle

As this is being touted as THE big thing it's sure to cause the usual short time frame fake-outs / shake-outs once the Senate actually gets its ass out of it's holiday - absolutely unbelievable at a time like this lol - and starts doing what it gets paid for, debating and eventually getting a vote through.

Results due anytime after the senate has holidayed sufficiently, and, after that exhausting task, after sundown, whatever exactly the latter is designed to obscure.

No wonder the mess is what it is, nobody is in charge, Wall Street and markets can take care of themselves as we've seen, while we're enjoying the fruits of all that lobbyism money, and we're off on our ranch having a barbecue and a sundowner before we'll even contemplate getting anything positive done for a change.

True, so suppose the big yo-yos will be once they've voted what.

Lol, if someone asks me 10 years down the road what actually happened, I suppose the best way to describe it is by saying that this is the result of a Congress that's not representing the best interests of it's voters, but has instead been bought hook, line and sinker by the lobbyists of Wall Street who managed to sell with sufficient campaign donations a tall story of rewards having lost any correlation with risk, and of Big Oil and Eisenhowers Military-Industrial-Complex that managed to bribe the same lawmakers in Washington on the disastrous, albeit lost and money hemorrhaging Iraqi Oil War of the last few years.

Money hemorrhaging for the taxpayers, that is.

Not that anybody cares about them.

Enormously lucrative though for Wall Street, at least prior to it's implosion and ensuing disappearance from the map, and Big Oil, the Military-Industrial-Complex, plus Bush, Cheney and the rest of their good buddies there.
