Those of you who prefer your information truly unfiltered may want to give a glance to the Wall Street bailout bill that has gripped the nation’s collective consciousness for what seems like several years now.
All 109 pages can be found here (.pdf) on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Web site. Those who prefer a summary may want to try this one from the House Financial Services Committee, which is also offering the full report.
From Associated Press:
Presenting the bill for public consumption so quickly after it was agreed is an unusual move that Democratic leaders hope will project a sense of transparency.
At the earliest the House of Representatives will vote on the bill on Monday, and the Senate on Wednesday, lawmakers said.
“When this bill passes and is implemented all of the transactions related to this legislation will be on the Internet within 48 hours,” said Pelosi. “And that represents change … That transparency, that oversight will be very important to the health of our economy.”
