US-FINANCE-BANKING-POLITICS
Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) (C) walks to the Minority Leader's office surrounded by reporters after the financial bailout package failed in a vote before the House of Representatives September 29, 2008 in Washington, DC. The House rejected the $700 billion rescue package, 228-205, after a weekend of intense negotiation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 700 points -- one of its biggest drops ever -- on the news and then swung wildly as investors tried to gauge the next step for the plan and the financial sector.
