"Today we must act for those Americans, for Main Street, and we must act now, with the bipartisan spirit of cooperation which allowed us to fashion this legislation.
This not enough. We are also working to restore our nation's economic strength by passing a new economic recovery stimulus package--a robust, job creating bill--that will help Americans struggling with high prices, get our economy back on track, and renew the American Dream.
Today, we will act to avert this crisis, but informed by our experience of the past eight years with the failed economic leadership that has left us left capable of meeting the challenges of the future.
We choose a different path. In the new year, with a new Congress and a new president, we will break free with a failed past and take America in a New Direction to a better future."
- Nancy Pelosi (from floor speech before bailout bill vote)
BLOGGERS OPINION: While I agree with Good 'ole Nancy, I do not agree that this was the right place or right time. The bill needed partisan approval and didn't receive it because of the nonpartisan statements made in the floor speech.
Please discuss and vote in the poll
