Washington, D.C., Sep 23 -

Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave today released the following statement regarding her opposition to the proposed Wall Street bailout:

“For years, Americans on Main Street have heard about the lavish excesses of Wall Street.  We heard about their mansions, exotic cars and above all, record profits.  Now the party is over and the same bankers are asking working families across the country to bear the consequences of their excess and greed.  I refuse to burden families already struggling with soaring energy and food prices with bailing out investment banks that made bad decisions.”
