Kucinich, Filner: “No U.S. Bailout for Foreign Banks”

Washington D.C. ( June 11, 2009) – Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), a leader in opposition to the original TARP I and TARP II bailouts, and Congressman Bob Filner (D-CA) today sent a letter to Members of Congress urging them to vote against a supplemental appropriations that may include $108 billion for the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

“The most plausible explanation for the request … is that the funding would be used to bail out private European banks with U.S. taxpayer money,” said Kucinich and Filner in the letter.
