US President George W.
Bush has signed into law a 700 billion dollar financial rescue package. On Friday, the House of Representatives voted in favor of the revised bailout package after rejecting the original version on Monday. Bush praised Congress for its speedy and bipartisan effort. The new package includes 150 billion dollars in tax breaks and allows the government to buy the distressed bank assets that triggered the Wall Street financial crisis in the first place.
