WASHINGTON (CNN) – Republican Sen. Richard Shelby emerged from President Bush's economic bailout meeting Thursday afternoon saying, "We will not have a deal."

Shelby, a senator from Alabama, said he had a five-page paper from 44 leading economists that says "we are rushing to a deal."

One of Shelby's top aides told CNN earlier Thursday that the senator from Alabama had planned to make the statement. Shelby does not like the plan and wanted a public platform to voice his views, the aide said.

I do not think either party will buy into this criminal action. If anyone takes a good look at what would happen if Paulsen was given this kind of power they would be very scared.

This bailout under any circumstances is nothing more than a move toward socialism.

The Dems can pass this bill without any help from the Republicans. If its such a great idea, why don't they just pass the bill and take all the glory for saving the country?
