What Exactly Are We Going To Do?

Ok people, here's a question for you and I hope I get a lot of responses to this. We had a long discussion today in one of my classes and basically the topic was about the bailout being denied. We discussed what will happen to this country if we DO pass the bailout program and if we DONT pass the bailout program. This discussion managed to last the entire three hours in class and there was no "real winner". I would like your input. I can already see that Friday, when class resumes, we will have a continuation of todays topic. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all and good luck in life.
