Today, a bipartisan group of Members of Congress, working with my Administration, reached agreement on economic rescue legislation that is urgently needed to address a crisis in our financial system that threatens the entire U.S. economy.
I appreciate the leadership shown by Members on both sides of the aisle, who came together to write a very good bill. This bill provides the necessary tools and funding to help protect our economy against a system-wide breakdown. The bill will help allow access to credit so American families can meet their daily needs and American businesses can make purchases, ship goods, and meet their payrolls. And this plan sends a strong signal to markets around the world that the United States is serious about restoring confidence and stability to our financial system. Without this rescue plan, the costs to the American economy could be disastrous.
Many Members of Congress contributed important ideas to improve the legislation my Administration proposed. I appreciate the negotiators considering those ideas and incorporating them in this agreement.
Members of Congress will vote on this legislation soon. This is a difficult vote, but with the improvements made to the bill, I am confident Congress will do what is best for our economy by approving this legislation promptly.
I guess, I agree with Obama. I don’t want 4 more years of Bush. I hope McCain steps up to the plate.
Screw you Bush!
Amazing how everyone seems to advocate for the passage of this bailout without having seen and read the entire bill (with all the Christmas tree provisions).
So now it’s a “rescue”, and not a “bailout”. Bailout = doublethink. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Remember to call it rescue and not bail out. George Orwell would be proud.
How is eventually turning the entire U.S. into a forever socialistic third world country truly a good thing? What are conservatives supposed to do now and in the future? What good is it to even vote if all is truly lost about the future of the entire country? Amnesty for illegal immigrants just by itself will forever ruin the U.S. as a country! The full implementation of the Fairness Doctrine will forever kill of U.S. conservatism! No conservative judges either to help U.S. conservatism for the long-term! Prove me wrong on all of this asap! Help!
“Bipartisan” means the Socialist DemocRATS had their way with the Republicans AGAIN!
Government of the people, by the people, and for the people is officially dead. It’s now government of Goldman Sachs, by the automakers, and for the hedge funds.
Does this make it 91% of the time??? /s
If I could take back my endorsement of George W. Bush in 2004 I would.
It would make a great tagline.
Compassionate conservatism strikes again.
BS BUSH!!!!
It was NOT A BIPARTISAN bill. It was crafted in the dark of night and delivered late to Republicans who are being pressured to vote for it without reading it.
Both Bushes are patrician socialists, not a conservative bone in their Ivy league bodies.
Practically the only way McCain could lose this election is by supporting this bill.
Should have known Washington would beat fly-over America. Just Damn!
Sad thing is whoever wins the WH will make Bush look like George Washington.
I want to hear from JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN, is he with US or THEM?
George Bush just gave the country to 0 for $700B for Paulson and his cronies.
