Enzi addresses the turmoil in financial markets
9/26/08
Mr. President, I
rise today to speak about the turmoil in our financial markets and
the urgent need for a legislative solution. On Wednesday, Secretary
Paulson and Chairman Bernanke wrapped up their sales pitch to
Congress on how to best rescue our economy. The fact remains that
there are as many questions today as there were before they got
here, maybe more. The U.S. Treasury continues to ask Congress for a
$700 billion check with as little accountability as possible about
how to spend it. Secretary Paulson and Chairman Bernanke have
opposed oversight, transparency, protections for taxpayers, and
everything else except a check and an envelope to deliver it
in.
We owe Americans
more than just a rubber stamp on this proposal. Each American is
going to loan $2,300 for this plan. For that price they want to
know why it is necessary, where their money is going, and if the
investment is going to work. Unfortunately, I am completely
disappointed with the answers so far.
