I am sure that there will be another vote on this matter rather soon.

:) Yea! My faith in our system not being turned socialistic is being restored! Maybe they will start implementing policies that will actually allow capatalism to work, such as repeal the capital gains tax.

It would be nice to hear what parts of the bill they didn't agree with. We should understand that the House of Representative still has a republican majority and so it's understandable that they would find flaws in any bills sponsored and written by either the Senate or Congress. Considering the amount of money it is also understandable that they will be scrutinizing this particular bill more than most. What I find unfortunate is that this particular issue is overshadowing the election when there is still roughly 18% of voters that are still undecided. Hopefully many of those undecided voters are still doing their homework and resist voting party line due to ignorance or laziness.

The bailout is much needed...has nothing to do with "socialism". It has everything to do with putting an economic fire out. We can begin cleaning up and rebuilding later.

What is sad and totally unacceptable are the tags that were put on the bill. No wonder it failed!

And now coming out of the sewers in Washington are the rats who point their fingers at those they hate on the opposite side of the aisle. Neil Cavuto stated that letters to Congress numbered 1000 to 1 in opposition to the bailout. Why wasn't this a unanimous vote in opposition? I think the answer is that our "civil servants" think they know all so much more about what is best than the People they are supposed to represent. This should be a wake up call to Congress that we do not trust them and we will not sit idly by while they try to pick our pockets.

They will vote again on another one shortly I am sure because everyone is afraid. sigh. And I do believe it's also part of the lie. Some have to oppose it or it will look too easy. Cant have a great socialist society against the people's will without a fight.

That's not what I have seen reported...and my source is FOXNEWS.

...and it looks like Wall Street is sending a message. The DOW is down over 700 points and falling fast.

Y'all really do need to read up on the New Deal, a series of programs that led this nation out of the Great Depression.

Sometimes the Federal Government does need to step in and reestablish some "balance" to our economy.

The government would have control over our financial institution if the bailout took place, and this is a welfare for the rich. In a true capatalistic society,the market works itself out. Government does not need to be involved in business ventures except to propose laws that protect its peoples, which is why we have the FDA and credit laws. Beyond that, the market should be allowed to operate without interference, and that's what needs to happen now. Repeal the capital gains tax, no more "political correctness" lending, and no bailout. If these things happen (plus others that I'm a little fuzzy on like mark-to-market) the economy will right itself up.

Like I mentioned, you really should read all about Roosevelt's New Deal. :) It is too late for other "long term" options, such as the repealing the capital gains tax. Saying "let it work itself out" is like watching a house burn down and not trying to put the fire out. Once the fire is out, we can and should focus on rebuilding but for now, the fire is growing out of control. We need to hose it down!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
