New Bailout Plan Same As The Old One*

The new Bailout Bill--the "Dodd Amendment"--is essentially the same as the old one, except with the following provisions:

• Raising FDIC-insurance limit to $250,000
• Tax breaks for businesses and alternative energy.

The Senate will vote on the bill tomorrow evening, and it is expected to pass.
