On The Bailout Bill

I'll be the first to admit that I know very little about the economy. I'm not really sure what is going on currently with the loan companies going under and such. I'm also uncertain as to what purpose this bailout bill will serve and if it was the right thing to do. It seems almost like they're throwing money at the problem, which reminds me of one of my favorite IBM commercials of all time. I imagine this is a little how this whole proposal went.
