Second bailout in the works

in a forum:

I just received a email from my Senator Obama(not a fan)he feels we urgently need a second bailout, i let him know the first was not needed and a second was not needed. As a former Bear Stearns employee i told him let the free markets do the job. People win and lose money so be it.

---

If you listened to the debate tonight you may know that it was McCain who advanced a new idea to buy struggling people's existing mortgages in a 300 billion dollar bail out. I am sure the republicans who have just found this out tonight are thrilled with their maverick.

Gross to Fed: Cut Rates to 1%, Buy Commercial Paper
by CalculatedRisk
http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/2008/10/gross-to-fed-cut-rates-to-1-buy.html
[The Fed] must also take another bold step: outright purchases of commercial paper. They should also cut interest rates to 1%, because we are experiencing asset deflation, and the threat of headline inflation is long past.

MARKET PLUNGE 777 points

Stock market crashes
from Interest Rate Roundup by Mike Larson
No, I don't think that's hyperbole. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 777 points, the biggest point loss in history. The previous record was -721.56 set in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Standard & Poor's 500 shed 102.90, or roughly 8.5%. That was the worst percentage decline since the October 1987 crash. The Nasdaq Composite lost almost 200 points, or 9.1%.
