For the second time this week, Congress considered a plan to unclog our banking system and unfreeze our credit markets. I know that the anger about this action is deep and real. Responsible taxpayers who pay their mortgages on time and don’t spend beyond their means do not want to pay for the abuses and bad decisions of predatory lenders, Wall Street executives and irresponsible individuals. I agree completely. That is why I fought so hard for a bill that wouldn’t leave the taxpayers on the hook for restoring our credit markets.

Yesterday, I reluctantly voted to approve the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. This is not a vote I wanted to make, but it is one I ultimately decided was necessary to keep our economic crisis from worsening. The stock market plunge of more than 777 points after the vote failed was a sign that the emergency is real. That doesn’t just hurt Wall Street, it hurts Main Street as well. Our retirements, college funds, small businesses, and homes are being threatened by this crisis. Just yesterday, I heard from a small business owner in the San Gabriel Valley who had lost his line of credit and was concerned about making payroll. That’s what’s at the heart of this crisis – small business owners and consumers facing a potential credit freeze across our economy.
