Republican members of the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday outlined the Republican Regulatory Reform Bill, a piece of legislation that calls for no more government bailouts and an end to government intervention when it comes to failing financial institutions.
“We do need to end bailouts and the government practices of picking winners and losers and restore market discipline. We need reform [and] we need smart clear and strong regulations to get our financial system back on track," said Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) during a press conference.
Republican members of the Financial Services committee have introduced legislation this week to create an independent trust in order to divest the governments ownership in companies like AIG, General Motors, Citigroup and Chrysler.
