Get a load of this…
We are very fortunate to have a Congressional delegation that has been tuned into financial services since Day One. Rep. Mike Castle and Sen. Tom Carper sit on their respective banking committees and thoroughly understand the issues. And Sen. Joe Biden, with his record in foreign affairs, knows the interconnection between our economy and the global network. They showed leadership and understanding when they voted, and make no mistake, they voted for you and our resilient democracy. When history records this period, it will be viewed not as the day Congress and the Administration bailed out Wall Street, but as the day they looked beyond any one bank or one person or one vote and thought clearly about generations to come and the effects this current crisis would have on them if we simply sat idly by.
Written (with presumably a straight face) by David G. Bakerian the president of the Delaware Bankers Association.
