Himes Statement On Financial Rescue Plan

Today, Jim Himes released the following statement on the passage of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 by Congress:

"The rescue plan passed by Congress today is a necessary evil that we all hope will keep our economy safe and strong. It is also the latest and clearest example of why our families need new leadership on the economy in Washington. For years, Chris Shays has supported Republican policies that took the referee off the field and which have brought us to this point. In Congress, I will fight for smart regulation that will make sure that American families are never put in this position again."
