No: 5
■ My gut says this is a temporary solution and the whole mess will be dumped on the next administration.
■ Unfortunately it sounds as if the bailout was the only answer for right now. I think the U.S. government needs to regulate these millionaires that we are bailing out.
■ No. But, I hope I am wrong.
■ It's the wrong course of action that will have our children and grandchildren paying for it.

■ Yes. It is unfortunate, but there isn't any recourse at this point.
■ Yes. But I believe there was no choice and only time will tell if it's effective.
