23 votes sinks the $700bn bail out

A White House spokesman said that President George W Bush was "very disappointed" by the vote's result.

As if reading from the same script...

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said the voting down of a $700bn (£380bn) bill in the US aimed at bailing out Wall Street was "very disappointing".

    jailhouselawyer,

    Is the lack of agreement resulting in 'global meltdown' in the best interests of US as a diminishing 'superpower' ?

    The assured bailout has turned to turmoil following 'visits' from John McCain & Brown.

    I never thought I would actually see the USA go bankrupt, but it is looking increasingly likely.

    Britain's is the same boat - recently reported that taxpayers are paying massive EU fines for government exceeding borrowing limits.

    It has been on the cards.
    It did not come as a surprise.
