WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office has heard from about 50,000 constituents since Congress began considering a financial rescue plan about a week ago — and "only one of a thousand supports it — whatever it is," the California Democrat said.

Lawmakers from both parties reported similar confusion and concern among constituents as they spent their Saturday painstakingly, and sometimes painfully, trying to craft a still-elusive compromise package.

1. I'm hearing that "bans on Golden Parachutes" have been watered down...

to "reasonable limits" on severance packages.

Just like everything else about the legislation, it's deliberately vague so that, when the truth is learned, lawmakers can claim cover.

2. Too much trouble to try to limit

pay. Tax them. Set their rate at 60%/ Make 'em pay.
