You failed to highlight the most salient point that Gingrich made: -- Gingrich, who made his remarks on the "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" roundtable, conceded that he would probably vote for the plan if he were still in U.S. House because Congress was left with little choice. --
So yeah, the plan sucks, and no way will Congress give Paulson $700, much less $700 billion, without oversight, but the basic plan is going to go forward because something has to be done.
