I didn't see such a poll elsewhere, so Mods, if there is one, please shut this one down.
I'm very interested to know if you support the bailout? Why or why not?

Allow our economy to collapse and create a new Great Depression and you will destroy this society. If can not survive such an event. Our cities would go up in flames and Government would break down. Can we say Anarchy?
We are not the self reliant people we once were. The last 3 generations have been taught that they will get what they want and will always HAVE things. Remove that and the entire society collapses. One LARGE collapse all at once would tear us apart.
This is what Bush, Paulson, and Bernanke want people to believe would have happened. It's not very accurate.
You are wrong and fortunately they got what they ask for. Though the collapse is still possible.

It becomes clearer with each passing day that most people, me included, really don't have a clue about what happened, why it happened, and what the government is trying to do with this bailout.
Sorry, Pauli, you know a lot but you are way too partisan. If you get a chance, listen to the broadcast. I didn't hear the entire thing, but I think it has more to do with a lack of transparency between lenders...in other words, Bank A doesn't know who Bank B is in debt to, or to whom Bank B's debtors are in debt to. So when one bank fails it sends a ripple, or a flood, of panic through the system and banks can no longer get credit nor offer it.No, huh? You still don't understand?
The govt. spent too much money, BORROWED too much money, and the citizens followed the example. The government borrows and prints their way out of messes, and the citizens follow suit. It's an endless downward spiral.
That is the EASIEST way to explain it without having to resort to wording that only economists typically understand. There are obviously a lot of underlying things at hand, but basically, our entire monetary policy is GARBAGE.
What the government is trying to do? If I didn't know better, I'd think they were setting us up for collapse. There's no POSSIBLE way this bill is going to be a fix. Just NO WAY.
It almost seems to lend credence to the idea that they will crash the economy and the Dollar, partner up with Canada and Mexico in a new union, and issue a new currency much like the Euro. Because there's no way the Dollar is going to survive this.
Read up on the Roman Empire, and how they handled their monetary policy. We handle ours almost EXACTLY the same way. And Rome fell via economic collapse.

And you know what? I don't want the country to meltdown so we can start all over.
