Least Surprising Bailout Negotiation Development

"We've not seen any way to getting majority [Republican] support," said Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.), a leading Republican vote counter and co-author of the alternative House GOP plan, which would also cut taxes on dividends and capital gains [E/A].

Right. Because cutting taxes on dividends and capital gains is absolutely essential to preventing a collapse of the financial markets.
