House ignores McBama and votes with Barr

The New York Times notes that the House voted with Bob Barr:
The House has voted down the bailout bill, to everyone’s surprise.
So much for party discipline. This bill was supported by John McCain and Barack Obama, the presidential candidates who, between them, have the support of nearly every member of the House.
But a majority of […]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “House ignores McBama and votes with Barr”, url: “http://blog.bobbarr2008.com/2008/09/29/house-ignores-mcbama-and-votes-with-barr/” });

CNN.com has a great, concise article from Harvard’s Jeffrey Miron that would serve as a good introduction to what’s wrong with the bailout for any friends or family that still don’t quite see the problems.
Thanks to Bill Anderson for posting the link originally on the lewrockwell.com blog.

Now the blame game will start.  The market is currently dropping, and it will charged that we are responsible for it.
