Car dealerships are going out of business because nobody can get a loan for a home. Homeowners are having to keep their houses on the market indefinitely because people (well qualified people) can't get mortgage loans. If the Congress did not act, this trend would have worsened (and still might for that matter), and more people would be out of jobs, more people would be using Government services (the costs of which would never be recouped) and Government revenues both Federally and Locally would dry up. Ultimately, if we did not pass this rescue package, there is a good chance that the economy would've seized, and the Federal Government still would've gone into further debt with or without this package. Improved health care would only be realized by more people becoming eligible for Medicaid. New construction by companies and municipalities have slowed dramatically.
