RTC SOLUTION?
According to a report on CNBC on September 19, 2008, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is considering setting up a government entity similar to the Resolution Trust Corporation. The corporation would take on bad debts from financial institutions and prevent the global credit crisis from worsening, according to supporters. As the news spread, Wall Street stocks rallied with the Dow Jones Industrial average gaining over 400 points for the day. Paulson is said to be meeting with Congress to gain their approval before openly declaring any solution to the public. In addition, President Bush is said to be in support of the deal along with Senator John McCain.
