They voted on the bailout plan just like any bill passed by the government.

When the Bill was initially introduced, it had been rejected by the US Senate on Sep 29th 2008. It was then amended and approved by the US Senate on Oct 3rd 2008. President Bush signed the bill into law within hours of its enactment, creating a $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program to purchase failing bank assets..

Without majority in the house the bailout would not have come into existence

How and when will taxpayers be affected on the bailout?

1. Bailout is a mechanism to strengthen banks' balance sheet so that their credit rating will not deteriorate thus not requiring to pledge additional asset to creditors. 2. It is also a mechanism to safeguard banks from panic withdrawal from depositors. Bailout comes at a cost (a very huge cost), in dollar term, it was estimated that the whole bailout plan will cost every man, woman and children in the US $2,300.

If the democratic party has a majority in both the house and senate why do they not go ahead and pass a bailout plan?

Some members of each party believe a) it is not going to work b) could make things worse or c) there are better plans. If all Democrats voted for the plan, and all Republicans voted against, it would pass with 235 votes. But voting did not go exactly by party. In the House vote, approximately 60% of Democrats, and 30% of Republicans were in favor of the plan.
