Hey there!
The ancient Greeks used direct democracy, and we use representative. The difference is that first of all, with a direct democracy, the opinions of the people directly affect the outcome of the decision being made. Those eligible to vote voted in assemblies, and the response of the majority ruled.
Here- it's a bit different. We use representative democracy- meaning that we elect representatives to vote and speak for us on the behalf of the people.

How does Congress react to Paulson requesting a bailout of US banks totaling over 7 billion dollars?
Congress acted against it, and the House of Representatives voted against Paulson requesting.
Let's remember the moment. It was September 20, 2008, when US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, submitted this proposal to the lower house of Congress. The House of Representatives discussed the proposal but considered that it was a tax imposition for US citizens to try to save the bad decisions of the bankers. So on September 29, the House of Representatives voted against the proposal, and immediately the stock changes of the world -including the New York stock exchange, of course- plummeted.
