Mike Pence Stands Against the Crap Sandwich
Pence Press Release:
[T]his legislation remains the largest corporate bailout in American history, forever changes the relationship between government and the financial sector and passes the cost along to the American people."I did not come to Washington to expand the size and scope of government.
"I did not come to Washington to ask working Americans to subsidize the bad decisions of corporate America.
"Therefore, I cannot support the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008....
"President Theodore Roosevelt said, 'An American… must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.'
"With this bill we place upon the American public a responsibility which is not theirs: bailing out financial institutions after they made irresponsible business decisions. This we should not do.
