[0:00]" And on the morning after where we go from here joining us is one of the people who voted no. The economic rescue package yesterday. South Boston congressman Steven lynch you told us last week congressman did you still have a lot of questions about this so why did you vote -- yesterday."
[0:17]" But the bottom line is -- The American taxpayers were asked to pay the full. Burden objection this bail out 700 billion dollars while. Wall Street and the people who benefited. Most greatly off our had a potential to. From the -- or asked to contribute nothing they'll do additional ask. Of of the people who. Number one cause this inaction and secondly the people who had the greatest stake in in in a solution. Show you know look I have. A fairly modest district. You know there are some areas that are struggling. In the I just -- currently on there that if folks working at McDonald's -- Art Dunkin' Donuts talk all my its. My postal. Employees or are cops and finally all. Being asked it to contribute to this and yet the people who. Film maker living on Wall Street in the end have the greatest investment and the stock market for us to pay nothing it's just if it baffles me why why you know someone would suggest a solution like that but."
[1:24]" With the people who suggested the solution congressman include your chairman Barney frank -- leader. Nancy Pelosi and Steny hoyer. The of the entire leadership volunteer who brought."
[1:34]" Like dead. Escape from the white else this could go to the committee process this came from the White House it can trump. You know secretary Paulson this was their poignant funny -- it is best suited to add some some security for four. An ordinary taxpayers. This is -- she didn't she could to make sure that they would limitations on Quincy Il compensations. And and we also ask that they. There there'd be some type of accountability. In the whole process but it all added by the Democrats. The Republicans want to -- that. And it -- in the end of the day the bill was 80% about Wall Street in 20% to about. Average Americans and that critic of the 20% about average American would put -- by the by the Democrats. So you know we need to go back to the drawing board."
[2:24]" And what would you like to see what would make you feel comfortable to vote for the news."
[2:28]" They -- something. Make them -- company -- action 700 billion dollar commodity American taxpayers pockets. The fake Wall Street case something here. And and the people who would have the greatest. You know investment in. In the stock market a lot of folks we don't have any money in the market yet they're being asked to step up who paid for this. This is patently unfair every -- we have a problem in this country the Bush Administration has -- solution. Call for my kids. Ball for my kids and I'm going against. He hasn't pay for the Iraq War. He doesn't create for the war in Afghanistan he -- all that money quote national got in his had been in doing the same thing here -- bonds' 700 million dollars 700 billion dollars. -- from taxpayers going off into the future. And -- He is just can't do that. That the debt limit on this country is during the is that his administration it was five good and all five trillion dollar when he came in office five trillion -- If this -- passes. B eleven point three trillion dollars he picks he borrowed more money in all 42 president before. This guy -- disaster and these guys have a little but more creativity just can't keep -- You know from the from the backstage she was happening to the dollar and looked up into our economic system. That this is not a plan this is this is a coward's way out as well."
[3:52]" Congressman traditionally the leadership will not bring it to the floor. A bill for a vote unless they know that they've got the votes that they want either to pass a door or two defeated. Which makes us think that the speaker probably thought she had the votes yesterday. Even if she didn't have your vote so what happened."
[4:11]" Well an Award this bill would go to the committee process is came out the white out its first came from on high. Usually when something goes through the committee process you can count heads and while it was anecdotal we will account against quietly. You know during the week and did not appear appear that it was going to be. Successful. In the end. They're Republicans could only deliver sixty tribe of their members. Over a 140. -- yeah 140 Democrats who voted for the -- 65. Republicans so. Is very difficult full force critical mostly tuned to. Devine called the Republican movement both -- not a hawk -- it's very -- get a lead on them. And she had the assurances of mr. -- an -- that the bill onto the floor he would have enough Republicans and he did not."
[5:03]" What about the the complaints of the -- couple of Republican members that. The speech he made prior to devote insult to them."
[5:10]" laughable. I don't see anybody put me being backed of that accusation. And actually incredible because. This is a mostly used harsh words against us there are rules about -- if she had gone overboard in -- speech which he did not you can read read that speech that was. I was fairly straightforward it was critical vote but it was true and anybody who changes their vote just because they are harsh word especially on a mission like this. Needs to reexamine. You know that their rationale on their priority."
[5:41]" The wrong business try of a final question everybody says is prone -- we've got to do something. And do it soon or we could be in for bigger trouble win would you guess. Something will be passed."
[5:54]" I got an email last night from the speaker saying that they are asking me to save the date for Thursday. Known so. -- slight -- they've identified Thursday and here's as the next date was supposed to be out for. The election season but. I believe the government of backing -- Thursday."
[6:12]" Congressman Steven lynch in Washington this morning as always thank you very much congressman."
