Carson: Bush Administration Should Adhere to Bernake's Call for Economic Stimulus Package

Washington, D.C. – "President Bush has rapidly responded to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's advice of having some of our nation's leading financial institutions bailed out in their time of need. However, now that it is Main Street and not Wall Street who needs the help, the President has been slow to answer the call in supporting an urgently needed economic stimulus package for working Americans.

"Time is of the essence and the American people can't afford to wait any longer for a much needed and long overdue economic stimulus package that will boost our economy and create jobs. President Bush responded to Wall Street's call for help, now it is time that he does the same for Main Street."
