RNC Victory Chairwoman Carly Fiorina On Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) Housing Plan

In Case You Missed It

March 27, 2008



Fiorina: "John McCain has been very clear throughout this crisis in saying that there is a role for government. The role of government is to help the truly needy. The role of government is to prevent systemic economic risk. The role of governmentis to enact reforms that ensure that this kind of crisis never happens again, and specifically to enact reforms that ensure greater transparency and accountability."

Fiorina: "He also has said that there’s a role for industry, that industry, for example, should simplify dramatically the mortgage application process and get it down on one page so that consumers understand what they're signing up for." (MSNBC’s "MSNBC Live," 3/27/08)


Fiorina: "And he has also said that there’s a distinction between the bad actors in this crisis, speculators, and investors who made bad financial bets and the good actors in this crisis, which are hard-working American families who are caught in a very difficult situation through no fault of their own. And so, he would distinguish between bad actors and good actors, and he would have the government be the actor of last resort, not the actor of first resort, as the Democrats apparently want to do."(MSNBC’s "MSNBC Live," 3/27/08)
