The House bucked the president and the economists, dismissing warnings of dire consequences if the financial bailout bill weren't passed today. A majority voted NO on the proposed $700 billion bill. Exactly how will the nation fix this mess? What should Americans be doing? Will credit freeze up as predicted? With the DOW rapidly dwindling, retirement accounts shrinking, and bills coming due, it's clear something needs to be done, but what, and by whom? On The Sound of Ideas®, we'll hook up with finance experts and lawmakers and try to get a sense of where we go from here.
