The most important thing for the American people to know tonight is that an issue of critical importance is moving forward in the Senate. I think it is important for us to remember the real reasons as to why we are taking up this bill. Even though it is painful to review the dark times of 2008, when our economy and the world economy were really on the brink, I believe it is important for us to do that review.
