“I think that ought to be something that guides us as we look at how do we deal with this impending challenge with regard to our economic situation. I do think we have started off in a very strong way, and I express my congratulations to Speaker Pelosi, Republican Leader Boehner, and Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulson for the work they have done which met with as close to universal approval on a bipartisan basis as you can get in the House of Representatives for what the Speaker has called a targeted, temporary, and timely economic stimulus. That will hopefully allow us to avoid a recession and, of course, all the fallout that would result from that recession, including people out of work and obviously negatively affecting the quality of life for a lot of Americans, including my constituents in Texas.”
