Let's Agree To Agree
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued a statement this afternoon that reflects one possible point of agreement between the parties about an add on to the bailout plan that tanked yesterday:
“The presidential candidates’ support for increasing the FDIC cap is welcome news. Increasing the FDIC cap is a proposal put on the table by Roy Blunt and House Republicans but ruled out by Democrats during the negotiations that led to yesterday’s unsuccessful vote.”
John McCain and Barack Obama have agreed to push a proposal to raise the FDIC cap to $250K from $100K.
