“I have come to the floor to talk about an issue I have spent a good bit of time talking about in the last several weeks--particularly the last week--and that is the issue most Americans have on their minds right now, and that is, when is this recession going to end? My answer to that is that this recession is going to end as soon as we can get Main Street moving again. We can pass bill after bill up here regarding big bank bailouts, saving the big auto manufacturers. We can step up and send money to big, troubled banks. But until we figure out a way to get money to Main Street, this recession is going to be with us a long time.”
