The Senate will begin debate within minutes on their attempt to revive the bailout bill rejected by the House. They have released the bill text this morning, and the Senate Conservatives Fund website has it for public perusal. The new version has no allocations going to the Housing Trust Fund, which the Dodd version originally did, so ACORN will get no money from the bailout.
However, the Senate did add a few winners to this new version:
New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill
- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)
Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill.
- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
- Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
- Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
- Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
- Railroads (Sec. 316)
- Auto Racing Tracks (317)
- District of Columbia (Sec. 322)
- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

The Senate will vote at around 7:35 PM tonight on this bill. I’d expect an easier passage, thanks to provisions to expand FDIC insurance and an added authority to suspend mark-to-market rules that may make some of the rest of this bill unnecessary. Senate leadership isn’t taking any chances; they’ve added this as an amendment to a bill containing some legislation sought by both liberals and conservatives, making it difficult to oppose from any direction.

The Senate is considering a revised version of a $700 billion plan that the House of Representatives rejected on Monday. Mr. Bush said another House vote is set for Friday morning. The new plan is said to include provisions to raise the limit on government insurance for bank deposits, and offer tax breaks for individuals and businesses. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid told journalists he is confident the changed bill will attract votes from both parties. Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell said Senate approval will make it easier to get the measure through the House. The revised plan is aimed at winning the support of different groups of lawmakers in the House of Representatives who voted against the original plan. Some objected to using taxpayers' money to buy bad investments from investment firms, and disliked government intrusion into business. Others opposed the plan because they saw it as a bailout of wealthy investors at the expense of ordinary people. The House of Representatives vote against the plan Monday triggered a $1 trillion sell-off on U.S. stock markets. Markets recovered most of the loss on Tuesday when investors thought Congress might work out a compromise and eventually pass a rescue plan.

Report sent to cocoa-touch. about Auto Sales Freefall across every brand
This article is located at cocoa-touch.
U.S. auto sales are down for every single automaker across the board for September. It was Ford Motor Co.'s worst month of the year, with a 34 percent drop, while Chrysler LLC fell 33 percent and General Motors faired only relatively better with a 16 percent drop.

This will be the 11th straight monthly year-over-year decline - that's the longest string of down months since 14 straight negative months ended in December 1991, according to reports. High gas prices continue to slam large vehicle sales, with Hummer falling an incredible 54.8 percent. Remember that former XM CEO Nate Davis said earlier this year that SUVs, and "high-end cars" tend to have a higher OEM conversion rate for satellite radio. Ford's truck sales were down 39 percent, while car sales dropped 19 percent. Meanwhile, Chrysler's car sales declined 29 percent, and truck sales declined 34 percent. GM's light truck demand fell 19 percent in September, while car sales slid 10 percent. Audi faired the best with "only" a 5.4 percent drop in sales. Congrats to Audi.

Leaders in both parties, as well as private economic chiefs everywhere, said Congress must quickly approve some version of the measure to start loans flowing and stave off a potential national economic catastrophe.

Report sent to cocoa-touch. about Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
This article is located at cocoa-touch.
an excerpt from a 1999 article in the New York Times by Steven Holmes titled Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending ...
In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
… In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's. ''From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,'' said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ''If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.'

Leaders in both parties, as well as private economic chiefs everywhere, said Congress must quickly approve some version of the measure to start loans flowing and stave off a potential national economic catastrophe.

Report sent to cocoa-touch. about Economic Bailout Plan
This article is located at cocoa-touch.
After one spectacular failure, the $700 billion financial industry bailout found a second life Wednesday, speeding toward passage in the Senate and gaining ground in the House where conservative opposition seemed to soften.
Senators loaded the economic rescue bill with tax breaks and other sweeteners for the right and left, hoping to secure approval in the House by Friday, just days after lawmakers there stunningly rejected an earlier version and sent markets plunging around the globe. The measure has not caused the same uproar in the Senate, where both parties' presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, were making rare appearances to vote their support. That would send the package back to the House, where passage would require a turnaround of 12 votes from Monday's 228-205 defeat.

Leaders in both parties, as well as private economic chiefs everywhere, said Congress must quickly approve some version of the measure to start loans flowing and stave off a potential national economic catastrophe.

Proponents say the government eventually could sell the devalued assets at a better price, reducing the program's final cost. As for House passage, there were worries that the tax breaks would cause some conservative-leaning Democrats who voted for the rescue Monday to abandon it because it would swell the federal deficit. "I'm concerned about that," said Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., the majority leader. As revised by the Senate, the package would extend several tax breaks popular with businesses. It would keep the alternative minimum tax from hitting 20 million middle-income Americans, and provide $8 billion in tax relief for those hit by natural disasters in the Midwest, Texas and Louisiana. The bill would not point to offsetting spending cuts to pay for the AMT and disaster provisions, but it would have revenue offsets for part of the energy and extension measures. The failure to offset many of the tax cuts angered the House's band of "Blue Dog" Democrats. The increase in the deposit insurance cap was a bid to reassure individuals and businesses with accounts in banks and similar institutions. The Senate specializes in high-stakes legislating-by-enticement, and the long list of sweeteners it added was designed to attract votes from various constituencies. Tax cuts new and old are favorites for most House Republicans, the main target of intense lobbying to gain support for the measure. Help for rural schools was aimed mainly at lawmakers in the West, while disaster aid was a top priority for lawmakers from across the Midwest and South. Another addition, to extend the deductibility of state and local taxes for people in states without income taxes, helps Florida and Texas, among others. And there were plenty of obscure tax breaks to go around, like one for certain wooden arrows used by children, and another benefiting litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. Senate leaders were expected to try adding another goodie before the final vote: extending a tax break for homeowners who do not itemize their tax returns. Raising the federal deposit insurance limit — along with the SEC's decision to ease accounting rules on valuing assets — helped House Republicans claim credit for some substantive changes. And with constituent feedback changing dramatically since Monday's spectacular House defeat and the corresponding market plunge, lawmakers' comfort level with the package increased markedly. Rep. John Shadegg of Arizona, a leading conservative who voted no on Monday, told CNN Wednesday he's "strongly leaning" toward voting for the plan. Asked if was ready to switch from no to yes, Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Ohio, said: "Not yet, but it's getting there." Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Republicans "can argue now that there have been some steps taken that they recommended." Monday's stock market drop and other economic developments that followed the House vote, he said, have "changed the complexion, too, of what people's constituents are now saying. ... There's more of a recognition that we have to do something." Besides Obama and McCain, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden was voting on the Senate bill. Other provisions added by the Senate include a measure to require large companies' health plans to give equal treatment to mental health or addiction if they cover such illnesses. The House and Senate have passed similar "mental health parity" measures, but none has gone to Bush for his signature

Report sent to cocoa-touch. about Low auto sale, Tight credit, financial chaos
This article is located at cocoa-touch.
Tight credit, economic worries and high gasoline prices combined to crush the sales of U.S. and foreign automakers alike last month, with Ford, Toyota, Chrysler and Nissan all posting drops of more than 30 percent.

Ford Motor Co.'s 34 percent decline marked its worst sales month this year, and the results across the industry are a strong indication that the financial turmoil that has swelled since mid-September is pushing the auto industry deeper into its trough. General Motors Corp., buoyed by its offer of employee pricing on most of its vehicles, saw U.S. sales drop a less severe 16 percent, boosting the automaker's market share to its best level all year. Dealers from many manufacturers said their customers are having an increasingly hard time qualifying for loans to buy autos, as banks have restricted lending because of widespread mortgage defaults that led to disruptions in the financial markets and the collapse of several banks. Plus, several automakers' finance arms have limited or discontinued leasing. Jim Farley, Ford's group vice president for marketing, said economic conditions have raised uncertainty among buyers. "Even if you have good credit, there's a reluctance to pull the trigger on a big ticket item," he said. Nissan Motor Co., which posted significant sales increases in July and August, saw its sales plunge 37 percent on double-digit drops in demand for nearly every one of its models. Chrysler LLC said its sales tumbled 33 percent, and Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales fell 32 percent. Honda Motor Co., one of the few automakers that had posted sales growth through August, reported a 24 percent drop. George Pipas, Ford's top sales analyst, said nearly all automakers saw "extremely weak" sales in the waning days of the month as the Wall Street crisis grew and Congress debated the government's $700 billion bailout of the financial industry. "It was tantamount, really, to a natural disaster," he said. GM's market share grew to more than 28 percent in September because it experienced smaller sales drops than its competitors, said Mark LaNeve, the automaker's vice president of North American sales. The share did not come with the expense of incentives, which he said averaged only $100 per vehicle more than in August and were flat from July to August despite the monthlong employee pricing offer, LaNeve said. Incentive spending was reduced, he said, because GM did almost no leasing during the month. But even though it may have gained market share, LaNeve said the numbers were still down year-over-year. "A few years ago I'd have jumped out the window with these numbers, and we're on the 39th floor here," he said in a conference call from GM's downtown Detroit headquarters. If overall U.S. industry sales drop in September, it will be the 11th straight monthly decline when compared with the year-ago period. That would be the longest string of down months since 14 straight negative months ended in December 1991, according to Autodata Corp. The industrywide figures were unavailable until later Wednesday. Buyers continued to favor small fuel-efficient cars over trucks and sport utility vehicles. Ford's truck sales were down 39 percent, while car sales dropped 19 percent. The numbers do not include Ford's Volvo Cars unit. There were few bright spots in Ford-Lincoln-Mercury model lineup last month, with sales of all but three models far lower than the same month a year ago. Sales increased only on the Focus small car, up 5 percent; the Crown Victoria large sedan, up 3 percent; and the Lincoln Town Car, up 69 percent. Sales of F-series pickup trucks, Ford's top selling vehicle, were down almost 42 percent for the month. But Pipas said full-size pickup truck sales were better industrywide when compared with May levels, due largely to increased incentive spending. He also said residual values have improved on pickup trucks and SUVs since May, putting many customers in a better position to trade in vehicles.

Tax Breaks Sales of F-series pickup trucks, Ford's top selling vehicle, were down almost 42 percent for the month. But Pipas said full-size pickup truck sales were better industrywide when compared with May levels, due largely to increased incentive spending. He also said residual values have improved on pickup trucks and SUVs since May, putting many customers in a better position to trade in vehicles. Ford, like its U.S.-based competitors, has been trying to shift its factories and model lineup from trucks and SUVs to more efficient cars and crossover vehicles, while burning through billions of dollars in cash. The Dearborn-based automaker has mortgaged its assets to stay in business and, as of July, had burned through nearly $11 billion of its cash stockpile in the past year. GM has performed strongly overseas, but plummeting demand for its most profitable products in the U.S. has forced it to close factories and lay off workers, and it burned through $3.6 billion in cash in the second quarter alone. Light truck demand at GM fell 19 percent in September, as sales of the Trailblazer dropped 31 percent and demand for the Tahoe fell 52 percent. Sales of Chevrolet full-size pickups fared comparably better, edging down just 5.5 percent. GM's car sales slid 10 percent, as a 17 percent drop in Cobalt sales and combined declines of more than 30 percent for both Cadillac and Buick cars off set a 68 percent jump in Malibu sales and 17 percent increase in demand for its Impala. Nearly all of Chrysler's models posted sales declines. The few models to post gains included its Caravan and Town & Country minivans, which both posted 6 percent increases. Overall, Chrysler car sales fell 29 percent, while sales of light trucks dropped 34 percent. Ford shares fell 65 cents, or 12.5 percent, to close at $4.55, while GM shares closed unchanged at $9.45. Toyota's U.S. shares fell $1.90, or 2.2 percent, to close at $83.90, Honda's U.S. shares lost 51 cents, or 1.7 percent, to close at $29.60, and Nissan's shares dropped 51 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $13.08. The Associated Press reports unadjusted auto sales figures, calculating the percentage change in the total number of vehicles sold in one month compared with the same month a year earlier. Some automakers report percentages adjusted for sales days. There were 25 sales days last month, one less than in September 2007..

Report sent to cocoa-touch. about Senate Sets Bank-Rescue Vote, House will vote on Friday
This article is located at cocoa-touch.
The Democratic and Republican leaders of the U.S. Senate predicted that a $700 billion financial-rescue package would win approval tonight and urged opponents in the House to drop their objections to the bill. ``There are a few people in the House who would rather we did this some other way,'' said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. ``We've tried other ways. We've got to get this done.'' Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, forecast ``victory'' and urged the House to take up the measure, which is designed to end a credit crunch and restore confidence in the nation's banking system.

The Senate will vote after 7:30 p.m., Washington time, on the legislation that links the rescue plan to an increase in bank-deposit-insurance limits and tax breaks. The House of Representatives will likely take action Friday, said Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The House rejected a rescue plan two days ago, and revisions were made to attract the votes of Republicans. Those changes might have soured House Democrats, Reid said. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told MSNBC News that no Democrats who opposed the measure earlier this week have pledged to back it, and he's not aware that Republican support has increased either. ``We don't have any more Democrats at this hour,'' he said. The measure the Senate will take up tonight includes temporarily raising the limit on federal deposit insurance to $250,000 from $100,000. That increase was proposed by Republicans critical of the plan authorizing Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to buy troubled debt from lenders.

Tax Breaks Also linked to the legislation is a two-year extension of tax breaks that will save individuals and corporations about $149 billion over the next decade, another move popular among House Republicans. Two-thirds of House Republicans and 40 percent of Democrats defeated the bailout plan on a 228-205 vote. President George W. Bush and Senate leaders vowed to revive the legislation. Hoyer said some Democrats, concerned about the widening federal deficit, may oppose the addition of the tax breaks without offsets such as spending cuts or tax increases. The Senate plan doesn't contain any offsets. ``I'm not particularly pleased with that addition myself, very frankly,'' he said in an earlier interview on ``The Today Show,'' acknowledging it is aimed at winning Senate passage. The provision may cause some Democratic defections, he said. Pressure Mounts The Senate is expected to pass the bill, with most Democrats and Republicans behind it. Pressure is also mounting on the House to go along. After a week-long torrent of calls and e-mails from angry voters opposing the rescue package, the tide turned after markets plunged on Sept. 29 in response to the House vote. ``Over $1 trillion worth of market value was wiped off the books by the stock market drop,'' said Senator Robert Bennett, a Utah Republican. ``It is ordinary people looking at ordinary pensions, with their ordinary Main Street kind of 401(k) plans, who lost that $1 trillion. And they lost it in a matter of minutes.'' Texas Republican Representative Joe Barton's office said constituent calls and e-mails swung to as much as 70 percent in favor of congressional action, after having been overwhelmingly against a taxpayer rescue of Wall Street. Barton, who voted against the measure in the House, said the changes made by the Senate won't alter his vote. The Same Bill ``The bill that they are going to send back is the same bill that I voted against two days ago,'' Barton said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. ``Why would I turn around and vote for it?'' He said he supported the tax and FDIC provisions in the measure, but added they won't do anything to solve the underlying credit crisis, and that failing to offset the tax cuts will add billions of dollars to the deficit. The Dow Jones Industrial Average's record 778-point nosedive two days ago ratcheted up pressure on Congress. The flood of e-mails to Capitol Hill swamped congressional computers, slowing communications and Internet access, said Kyle Anderson, a spokesman for the House Administration committee. On Google Inc.'s search engine, ``bailout vote'' and ``House vote'' were the fifth- and sixth-most-searched terms on Sept. 29. ``Roll call vote'' and ``who is my congressman?'' also made the top 50. Forcing Congress's Hand House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, the Republicans' chief vote counter, predicted that voters' economic worries would force Congress to act. ``The impact this could have on the markets will have a big impact on getting people back to wanting to work together to get this problem solved,'' Blunt said. House Republican leader John Boehner, who backed the House measure that failed, said he supports the Senate legislation. Other lawmakers say their constituents are still opposed, and they have no regrets about killing the plan that was presented to the House. ``One of the best votes of my career,'' said Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat. The bank-rescue package would give the Treasury secretary broad power to buy troubled assets, chiefly mortgage-backed securities, that are burdening investors and financial institutions. The Senate's final version of the legislation is still being drafted. Under the accord, announced on the Senate floor, Reid and McConnell must still agree on the language before a vote can take place. It will be offered as an amendment to a piece of House-passed legislation awaiting Senate action. Blue Dogs The tax package that's part of the legislation also includes $17 billion in tax credits for the development of solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy. It passed the Senate on a 93-2 vote last week and differs from a version the House also approved. The package would spare 24 million households from a $62 billion alternative-minimum tax that is due to take effect this year. Fiscally conservative House Democrats known as Blue Dogs opposed the Senate bill because it wasn't fully offset by new tax revenue. The House version of tax breaks was paid for. Senate leaders refused to consider the House bill, saying it would never pass in that chamber. The financial rescue measure won support from 24 of the Blue Dogs on Monday. To help restore confidence in the nation's lenders, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair sought the temporary increase in the bank- deposit insurance limits. Under the measure, banks will not be required to pay additional premiums for the coverage, which expires in 2009. The FDIC change was endorsed by both Republican presidential nominee John McCain and Democratic rival Barack Obama. Both presidential candidates plan to return to Washington for tonight's vote, their aides said. GE Capital, another of the new segments, includes financial services including commercial finance and GE Money consumer finance. GE also controls NBC Universal, the media-entertainment powerhouse that includes NBC television and Universal Pictures.
