<blockquote><p>Some people will ask of this Congress, what were we thinking? Why did we give $700 billion bailout to <span class="yshortcuts">Wall Street</span> without fixing what caused the problem in the first place? Why did we rig the free markets for security fraudsters? Why didn&#8217;t we explore alternatives to let Wall Street solve its own problems? Why didn&#8217;t we have money save millions of homeowners, create millions of jobs, and a green economy? Why didn&#8217;t we stop the speculators? Why wasn&#8217;t there accountability? Why didn&#8217;t we take time to make an intelligent decision?</p></blockquote>
