Rehberg: Montanans at the Negotiating Table
09/26/08WASHINGTON, D.C. – Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, today issued the following statement regarding the alternative Wall Street rescue package being proposed by House Republicans.
“While the President and House Democrats were busy drafting a taxpayer funded bailout of Wall Street, my Republican colleagues and I were becoming increasingly concerned that Wall Street had a champion, but American taxpayers did not. I’ve been fielding calls, emails, faxes and letters from thousands of Montanans and their message was delivered loud and clear – taxpayers do not want to foot the President’s $700 billion bailout bill.
In response, I have been working with my colleagues in the House to ensure that we act carefully and deliberately in order to bring some common-sense to the bargaining table. While the President and House Democrats are moving forward with a deal that most Americans believe is flawed, I am advocating for the taxpayer. The protection of the taxpayer is worth the annoyance of those that would rush the process through to a disastrous end.”
