...qualify for bridge loans from Congress. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler must present business plans to the House and Senate Banking Committees no later than Dec. 2. As part of that presentation, they must prove that, in the long run, they are "viable" companies that not only can repay whatever loans they receive but also can demonstrate that they won't need to come back and ask for more money. The two committees will hold hearings to vet the plans. If the plans are approved, Reid and Pelosi say they are willing to reconvene both chambers of Congress the week...
...some point, most economists argue, the U.S. will have to balance its budget and repay what it has borrowed to fund the spending spree. That will most likely mean reducing outlays and raising taxes in the future. But neither presidential candidate can convincingly argue that a balanced budget is possible in the next few years.

By Sunday, some of the chain's Hong Kong stores, already picked over by bargain hunters, were shuttered...
...only 37, and my wife and I have never earned more than $80,000 in a single year. Yet we have already paid for two homes. I am angry about giving money to irresponsible individuals who borrowed far more than they could repay. They have driven home prices to historic levels by creating what amounts to artificial demand. We played by the rules: we paid our mortagages off. Some 25% of subprime housing borrowers did not. So who gets punished? People like my wife and me. Colin Buckley, Albuquerque, New Mexico...
