and what does "Off the table" mean ?
Geez, and you wonder why Palin's infant suffers from Down syndrome. It's systemic among you, people.
EDIT: Some lame ass Oregon democrat circulated a "letter" advocating the loony move. Language was NEVER in any bill.
Let me help you out. From the article:
She said there are some members of Congress who want to impose "pay-fors" now. "I don't think that that position will prevail," she said.
That shouldn't be too hard to understand.

"I don't think that position will prevail" in politico speak is NEVER. so ?
Would you please talk to your GOP friends and tell them to stop fucking with Short Selling ?
Are you unaware that the bailout failed to recieve a majority of GOP votes in the House?
Quote from oktiri:
1-- Your assertion is a discredited lie. They're talking about a fine on the banks that took part on the bailout to recoup the tax payer's bailout money spent on banks (That's your money too dumbfuck, you only seem to be interested in taxes & fairness when they're levied by democrats)
2-- If they wanted to implement such a tax, why wait 5 years ? since in 5 years ,we'd have another election, a new congress.
Wrong & Wrong.
GOP Voter = White trash.(The only "truth" holding this week )

I told you once before - it's not my job to keep you informed. Either learn to use a search engine or get lost...
you know how to make use of copy/ paste. or just copying the link from the address bar and pasting it here for all of us to see. Yannis does it about 1,500 times a day.
If you don't know how to do it. i' apologize. I can help you learn that skill, it's basic. I was cynical, I thought you knew how to do it...you just kept insisting on using a search engine instead of ctrl c(ing) the thing

I donât have many friends in the GOP. They left me a long time ago, and only get my support because I donât want Obama in office with a veto proof congress.
This is what Defazio wanted to do. This is from his web page. Now if they didn't want to get republicans on the bill, you really think they wouldn't have taken a harder look? It often starts with just 1 person in congress. I don't believe for a second the dems would not bring this back up to, as Defazio states, remove incentives for short term traders. That would be many of us at this forum...maybe even you, oktiri.

"If Democrats continue to back the basic questionable premise of the Bush/Paulson bailout, then we must pay for it. The $700 billion is to protect Wall Street investors, therefore the same Wall Street investors should pay for this infusion of taxpayer money. I have proposed a minimal securities transfer tax of ¼ of one percent. A securities transfer tax would have a negligible impact on the average investor and provide a disincentive to short-term traders. Similar tax proposals have been supported by many esteemed economists such as Larry Summers, John Maynard Keynes and Nobel prize winners Joseph Stiglitz and James Tobin.
There is considerable precedent for this. The United States had a similar tax from 1914 to 1966. The Revenue Act of 1914 levied 7a 0.2% tax on all sales or transfers of stock. In 1932, Congress more than doubled the tax to help finance various programs during the Great Depression. In 1987, Speaker of the House Jim Wright offered his support for a financial transaction tax. And today the UK has a modest financial transaction tax of 0.5 percent."
I don't have justify to you anything that I say here. My post was just a fyi for anyone reading the thread. Like I said, if you don't like it get lost little rat turd...Quote from oktiri:
