國會議員藍普森投票反對7000億救市：美國人應該憤怒

美國人應該憤怒！

當美國國會準備考慮我們國家歷史上最大的金融救市時，我要你知道，我將要表決對它說“不”。勤勞的德州納稅人在艾克颶風之後正努力重建家園，那些華爾街大亨輕率地賭輸了自己的錢，憑什麼讓我們的納稅人為他們買單？那些人造成了今天的殘局，他們應該為此負責，我們憑良心絕不應該把一張空白支票交到他們手裡。
為華爾街交易商和投機商的糟糕政策支付7,000億美元是荒謬和不負責任的！國會需要行使財政紀律和常識。

成千上萬的東南德州人民正努力重拾生活，我們應該做的絕不是把要用卡車來裝的那麼多的錢倒入那些華爾街交易商的錢袋裡。

我今天將投票反對這一蹂躪納稅人的法案，該法案分攤到每一個男人，婦女和兒童身上達$2500。我對這一建議很憤慨，並將繼續鬥爭，以確保納稅人的錢被明智地使用，而不是漫不經心地揮霍掉。

美國的納稅人不應該，絕不能，更不允許被看作是華爾街大亨不端行為的保單。請和我一起呼籲所有當選的兩黨官員和領袖打擊這一糟糕的政策。

此致

敬禮

尼克 藍普森

Americans should be furious! As Congress moves to consider the largest financial bailout in our nation's history I want you to know that I will be voting NO on this boondoggle. Hardworking, taxpaying Texans are struggling to rebuild their homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, and I see absolutely no reason why they should front the bill for Wall Street tycoons who recklessly gambled away their money. We should not in good conscience hand over a blank check to those who are responsible for putting us in this mess.

Repaying Wall Street traders and speculators $700 billion for bad policy is outrageous and irresponsible! Congress needs to exercise fiscal discipline and common sense.

Tens of thousands of Southeast Texans are working to put their lives back together, and the last thing we should do is dump truck loads of taxpayer dollars into the wallets of erratic Wall Street traders.

I will vote NO today on saddling taxpayers with this exorbitant bill which amounts to $2,500 for every man, woman and child. I am outraged at this proposal and will continue to fight to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, not carelessly.

The American taxpayer should not, must not, and cannot be viewed as an insurance policy for the misdeeds of Wall Street tycoons. Please join me in calling all elected officials and the leadership of both parties to fight against this bad policy.

Sincerely,

Nick Lampson

Member of Congress
