WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tom Udall issued the following statement today on the Republican's obstruction of Wall Street Reform:
"Reckless gambling and greed on Wall Street left America's economy teetering on the edge of a cliff. Despite our near economic collapse and the billions of taxpayer dollars it took to bail out Wall Street, not a single Republican tonight voted to debate or amend a bill to hold them accountable. Wall Street's irresponsible behavior cost middle class jobs, savings and retirements. It's shameful that taking action to right this wrong has become yet another game of partisan warfare."
