As I said before, if Congress doesn't address the root causes of our economic issues, throwing $700 billion at it will likely be a wasted effort.
You are right, this doesn’t address the root cause of the problem.
But like in a medical emergency, you have to stop the bleeding and save the patient. Later you can do detailed analyis/testing, reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation.
So you better hope McCain wins, so when the root cause is addressed next year, at least there will be some conservative voice out there. What do you think it will be like with President Obama and a larger democratic house and senate?
