Rep. Rush Holt speaks about the financial crisis on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. “Let’s take a breath and show the world that the government of the United States will not let the financial house collapse.

If we go to the root of the problem, we can help both.” Read more about Rep. Holt’s views on the financial crisis here and here.
