Senate Holds Hearing On Financial Sector Crisis
Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D-CT) (R) welcomes Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke (L) and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (C) before a hearing before the committee September 23, 2008 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The Bush administration officials were testifying about a proposed $700 billion bailout that they hope will stabilize the faltering U.S. financial system. Many members of Congress have expressed anger at the plan they say will pay for Wall Street's mistakes at taxpayers' expense.
