GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Just back from Washington, D.C., South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham painted a very bleak picture of what he expects for the country if the bailout plan fails.

Graham spoke in front of a foreclosed home on Avondale Drive in Greenville.

He said if the plan doesn't pass soon, more banks will fold. Businesses will close and people will lose their jobs. As least twice he mentioned that the economy could be headed for a depression.

Pansey could be in for a deep depression after he gets beaten in this election if he’s not careful.

More and more i wonder if this isn’t a congressional cover up of monumental proportions. How many congressmen, senators etc have been at the trough and how much money has really been ripped off?

This is the second thread I’ve seen of folks not taking this financial crisis seriously... What gives? Some of you need a comedy break?

I have one question for Lindsey: How will $700 billion save us from a depression?

If he's right, then we're past the point where a bailout will help. It will only make things seem okay for a few months..... this bailout will hurt the value of the dollar..... and force Congress to pass more bailouts.....

And we "could" be headed to untold riches and wealth too.....

"Could" be the operative word......

Lindsey should just do us all a favor and demonstrate some courage, self-control, and strong resolve....by committing hari-cari.

Him and about 90% of Congress.....

I think it's because many of us saw this coming a loooong time ago. This crisis is no surprise. And it's sad to see that Sen. Lindsey was surprised by this, and feels the need to all of a sudden scream bloody murder over this thing..... when we've been screaming bloody murder for a loooong time!!!
