Man the pumps?

There is no reason to rush. President Bush wants to ram this through without deliberation, because that is how he operates. The Democrats want to act without deliberation, because putting the financial sector under government control is what they want. The rest of us would be better off if the issue were carefully debated first.

Well, yes, but even the Democrats would be better off. They can seize power and regiment us all some other way that is less self destructive. If they are smart. There is no evidence that they are, but one can hope, and cowardly ineptitude will serve as well in this instance. They can do that.
