Community pulse: Bailout the right decision?
Oct 9, 2008
 By The Community



THIS WEEK'S WEB POLL:

Is the government bailout bill, spending billions to buy bad mortgage-related securities and other devalued assets, the right course of action?


Yes: 7
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 - subject to the necessary oversight, checks and balances.

■ 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.
