WHAT
What do you think will happen if you keep doing what you have always done before?
Would you like to learn another way to go?
I, like many Texans, am angry and frustrated that the United States is in the current financial crisis.
As a strong supporter of the free market, I am opposed to unnecessary government intervention in the economy.
As you know, the federal government has taken several steps to ensure that our financial system remains stable for the growth of our economy.
Any actions by the federal government must be temporary and limited.
Furthermore, any taxpayer money that is used to support our troubled economy must be subject to strict oversight and be repaid—in full—to the American people.
Hard-working, financially responsible Texans should not have to pay for the irresponsible behavior of corporate executives who abused their positions.
These executives must now be held fully accountable under the law.
Furthermore, risky business practices by irresponsible financial institutions have caused great stress on our credit market, limiting the amount of credit available to both individuals and businesses.
America’s system of credit is the lifeblood of our economy as it affects thousands of purchases and investments made in our country each day.
Without access to capital or credit, small businesses cannot pay their employees and working families cannot receive the loans necessary to send their children to college or purchase a new home or car.
It is critical for our economy that the financial crisis be prevented from spreading to families and small businesses, which would result in many Texans losing their jobs, diminished college funds for their children, and a loss of hard-earned retirement savings.
