WASHINGTON -- United States Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., released the following statement this evening after voting against the financial industry bailout package.
Sen. Landrieu said:
"Unfortunately, it appears that an influx of taxpayer money will ultimately need to be a part of any attempt to stabilize and restore faith in our financial sector. However, if the people of Louisiana have learned anything in the last several years, it is that simply throwing money at a disaster doesn't fix the problem unless paired with wise reforms to the practices that failed us.
"Significant improvements have certainly been made since the audacious first draft of the bailout plan. But in its current form, it falls too short of having the safeguards needed to ensure American taxpayers aren't left shouldering the burden of problems left uncorrected."
