PRESERVE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY -- (House of Representatives - September 25, 2008)

Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, this first year of Congress for me is about to end, and the 110th Congress is about to end. It is important that we come together on this floor and in this Congress in a bipartisan manner to preserve the American economy.

Whose fault it is--I think the American people know whose fault it is. There were 6 years of a Republican President, a Republican Senate, a Republican House, and a lack of regulations and a lack of regard to the economic conditions that brought about this situation, but now is the time to fix the mess.

Whether you are a first-year Member, a senior Member, a Democrat or Republican, when you make a mess, you clean it up. It's our responsibility to do it in the proper way with oversight, with the American taxpayer at the base of our concerns to make sure we do it right.

We are in for historic times. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party need to come together, and we need to have a solution to keep America strong.

God bless the United States of America.
