Bill Delahunt: “Because the way we are going, we are going to bankrupt this United States of America.”

I think it says something about our system, our political system and how, you know, how there are powerful interests that oftentimes, I believe, don't really understand their own interests in the long term.

If they want the market to function in a way where there is no government support, intervention, regulation, they will discover it if there is another September of 2008; it will be a debacle.

I believe ardently that it is the responsibility of these Committees to do the oversight that is necessary to repair the damage that was done in the preceding Administration to America's image.

If we continue to drag this out... we are going to find ourselves in a real serious, severe crisis.
