Coming soon: The $810 billion bailout

Let’s all practice a little thought leadership this morning: The $700 billion bailout died in the House earlier this week. The bailout headed for a vote this morning is bigger, messier and more expensive. It’s $810 billion by my math -- the original $700 billion ‘No Banker Left Behind’ bill that was first written by Henry Paulson, and $110 billion more in unrelated tax cuts.

I’ll have more after the vote, expected fairly soon.
