Blunt: Time brings GOP on board with rescue plan Other votes
U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, R. Mo., the Republican nominee for Missouri governor, voted against the package. “The bill today is still deficient in many areas,” Hulshof said in a news release. He listed its high cost and noted that it does not address the practice of short selling. U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., voted in favor of the measure. “The economic crisis we face is real and it must be addressed head on,” Skelton said in a news release. “Doing nothing is not an option.” U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda, D-Kan., voted against the bailout on Friday, as she had Monday. “Today’s bill has some good elements, like the expanded FDIC insurance, but it carries a staggering cost,” Boyda said in her statement. U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., voted for plan. “I realize that spending hard-earned tax dollars to stabilize the banking industry is not popular,” Boren said in a news release. “However, I believe the alternative, which is to do nothing, could lead to years of economic despair for our state and nation.” Blunt’s role U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., was the lead Republican negotiator for the bill in the House.
