Historic rescue plan for American banks

American senators, including candidates for White House, Barack Obama and John McCain passed on Wednesday a historic plan to back-up Wall Street, which cost the state 700 billion dollars, whereas Treasury says it is the only way to stabilize the financial rout.

Senate passed with 74 votes against 25 the plan called “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008” would give five weeks before election campaigns broad powers to secretary of Treasury, Henry Paulson, in rescuing banking sector.

The vote opens path to approval of the draft’s content, as of Friday in House of Representative, which initially rejected on Monday the bailout plan by a margin of 228 to 205 which led to a sharp slump of Dow Jones and world’s stock markets meltdown.

Republicans were those who refused to shore up something they considered as a major intervention of the state on taxpayers’ expense.

The bailout plan’s objective is to confer to the state the means and authority to take over distressed assets of financial institutions that reel from subprime deadlock. Over 12 banks collapsed in United States.
