Summary: Jim Marshall defends his vote in favor of the financial bailout package.
Script of "Economic Rescue" (TV)
MARSHALL: Warren Buffet's called this financial crisis the worst in our nation's history. I don't like this rescue plan any better than you do. And I'm not interested in bailing out the irresponsible people who dragged us into this credit mess.
But I'm not going to stand by and let this crisis undermine our economy and damage the financial future of everyone in America -- their jobs, their savings, their dreams.
I'm Jim Marshall, and I approve this message because you elected me to do what's best for America. Not what's easy.
