Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) (L) and ranking member Sen. Richard Shelby listen to testimony during a hearing before the committee September 23, 2008 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. 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.
