DeGette: Supporting bailout plan was "the right thing to do"

Despite "hesitations," U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Denver) supported the economic bailout plan that failed a U.S. House vote Monday "because it was the right thing to do," she said in a statement on her Web site.

The bill, H.R. 3997, failed 225-208.

 

DeGette's full statement: 

"Despite my hesitations, I supported this bill -- not because I wanted to, not because it was the politically easy thing to do, but because it was the right thing to do. Sadly, only one-third of my Republican colleagues supported the bill despite the urging of the President, Senator McCain, and their Congressional leadership.

"Our nation faces serious economic challenges that require serious action. Doing nothing risks a freeze in our financial markets, further exacerbating the economic meltdown while everyday Americans suffer. After the vote today, about a trillion dollars of wealth in our economy evaporated in just a few hours.

"But this is not an abstract concept about Wall Street. Without this legislation, it will be harder for consumers to get basic car or home loans, small businesses will have trouble making payroll, pensions could deteriorate, and credit card rates will soar.

"I will work with the leadership of Congress on both sides of the aisle to bring a new bill to the floor as soon as possible to inject liquidity into the market, allow small businesses and consumers to continue to obtain credit, and begin the long process of restoring confidence in the American financial system."

Bailout.. Credit Crunch.. Solution


The US economic conditions have changed in the last few months, and as detailed as these reports appear to be, there are still plenty of unknowns. Since the recession began, thoughts turn to how to repair your credit. Everyone needs some short term financing now and again. Eventually some of us want to own homes, so if your credit rating isn't exactly good, then attempting to repair your credit would be a good idea. Well, getting payday loans now and again to make higher than minimum payments isn't a bad step to take. You might also make some alterations in your personal budget to make more payments and get out from under the cloud of debt. It could save you from worrying about payday loans later on if you repair your credit.
