Yesterday, Representative Keith Ellison voiced his support for releasing TARP funds from the floor of the House of Representatives.
The fact is that this piece of legislation, carefully crafted and now working with an amenable and a cooperative administration, is in a much better position to meet the needs set forth in the original legislation, which is to help homeowners. The bill requires at least $40 billion, but no more than $100 billion, be used to help distressed homeowners.
