OK, this is a question that I've been dying to ask. Is anyone else skeptical of the dire consequences that were predicted should the bailout have failed? I've just got this feeling in the pit of my stomach that the direness of the situation is being exaggerated by all involved (banks, media, and politicians). I mean come on, banks were threatening not to give anymore loans unless it passed. I'm sorry but if a bank isn't giving out loans and therefore collecting interest, how does it plan to stay in business? Seems like more of an idle threat to me.
