Finance sector gave 51 percent more to House bailout backers

From Democracy Now!:

The Center for Responsive Politics is reporting members of the House of Representatives who supported bailing out the financial sector have received 51 percent more in campaign contributions from the finance, insurance and real estate sector in their congressional careers than those who opposed the emergency legislation.

This cuts across both parties. Although correlation is not causation, there was a vote in 1999 to lift certain banking restrictions that had suspicious statistic similarities. Hey, I just alliterated.
