Statement on TARP Disapproval Vote

U.S. Congressman Dean Heller (R-NV) made the following statement on today's vote on H.J.Res. 3 - Relating to the disapproval of obligations under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act.

"Bailout money has already been spent with little oversight and few positive results. Over the past few months we have seen CEO bonuses handed out, luxurious retreats for executives, and financial institutions buying one another out. By rescinding the additional $350 billion yet to be appropriated, Congress can show the American people that protecting the taxpayer and fiscal responsibility is a priority. I urge my Senate colleagues to reevaluate their vote on this measure," said Heller.

Heller is a cosponsor of H.J.Res. 3 - Relating to the disapproval of obligations under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act.
