Senators Gregg and Dodd: No More Shoes About to Drop
From NPR: Sens. Dodd, Gregg: No More Bailouts On The Horizon
Senator Gregg: “I don’t see any shoes out there that meet the standards of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or AIG.Audio is at NPR.
Senator Dodd: “I agree with that.”
NPR: "Meaning there won't be another huge huge bailout of this kind? You don't see one on the horizon?
Gregg: “I don’t see any entities out there that appear to be in trouble that meet this type of standard--that they would melt down the entire system if they went under.”
Dodd: "Some banks. Some banks, some regional banks, but nothing of the size of AIG, Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch."
