Hillary or Obama, Democrat or Republican, it doesn’t matter. The latest poll we saw about a bailout was 91% to 9% against it. Americans are never so united as a 9 to 1 support for or against anything… except this. No matter how many FBs are subject to a bailout, the number of everyone else who either rents and saves, or has an appropriate mortgage, will far outnumber the FBs. So any bailout would serve a small minority of Americans, while benefitting primarily a tiny fraction of super rich bank execs.
Any politician who would support such a bailout does so at their own tremendous political peril. I’ll be writing a letter to any pol who even mentions supporting it, that it will cost them my vote.
91% of voters are against it… I’m not sure even Dick Cheney could muster enough balls to support bailing out nothing but bank millionaires in the face of that much unanimous voter opposition.
