A revised bailout bill is expected to go to a Senate vote tonight
Waiting is what we are doing today ? waiting for the folks on Capitol Hill to come to some kind of agreement over the bailout bill. or is it a “rescue plan?” Whatever you choose to call it ? the Senate has chosen to vote on the bill tonight. But the bill has had a little sugarcoating, including a new provision added that increases the limit on federally insured bank deposits to $250,000 from $100,000.
