Americans Embrace Big Government to Help Solve Market Crisis

Wednesday, Oct 15, 2008
Americans are looking to big government to dig the country out of the financial crisis, a Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll shows.
A plurality of voters support the $700 billion financial- market rescue bill President George W. Bush signed into law Oct. 4. That is a turnaround from a Bloomberg/Times poll in September, when a solid majority said it wasn’t the government’s responsibility to bail out private companies.
The poll conducted Oct. 10-13 also finds that Americans favor the federal government providing assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure, by a greater than 2-to-1 margin. And almost three-quarters say they believe insufficient government regulation contributed to the financial and housing crises, up sharply from September.
Poll respondents say they want government to step in.

“They have to do something to spur the economy, otherwise we’ll be further in the hole than we already were,” says Mike Hackenberg, 36, an independent voter and warehouse worker who is studying to be a teacher in Rainier, Oregon. “They’re making the right effort to back the banks and reassure foreign investors.”
Democrat Rudolph Green, a retiree in St. Louis, Missouri, agrees.
`Turmoil’
“The world is in turmoil,” he says. “For people who are trying to pay their mortgages, they need a little help.”
Reece Trebett, a retired steelworker in Chandler, Arizona, says the 11 percent increase in the Dow Jones Industrial average Oct. 13 — the biggest single-day rally in seven decades — showed the Treasury’s plan may calm the waters.
“The response in the stock market today is evidence it might work,” says Trebett, 66, a Republican.

It wouldn’t matter how we feel. This is, after all, a dictatorship, because the evidence is clear of that. All you need to do is see things the way they are and there you have it.

Hey Prison Plane: Britain is a fascist state that Americans HATE. Britain is the biggest fascist state the world has ever seen.
Why do Americans care what happens in the shitbag country of Britain?
Why does Prison Planet even cover the fascists in Britain. Are you trying to co-mingle the fascism of Britain with Amerikan Fascism?
Is Alex Jones a british citizen? Then why do we care what happens in Britain. I hate Britain and their sheep who worship a king and queen. I piss on the dead bodies of Britains king and queen, may they rot in hell.
Why does prison planet cover Britian so much? I and my fellow American would kill British people again just as we did in the past. Britain is evil and has nothing to do with America.
We fought a war to get away from the fascist religious shitbag state of Britain.
Why are you shoving their news down OUR throats?

The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Warburgs have dug their tentacles deep into every sovereign nation of the world. From the US, to Great Britain to Israel. Their goal is the same. A Prison Planet. They control the central banks. They control the money by deflation and inflation. They control our foreign Policy.
This evil hides itself behind many masks. One of those masks is to call anyone who questions their agenda by an Anti Semite. I find that funny because alot of us Jewish people who support the Torah REJECT Zionism. Does that make us Jews who dare question the NWO Anti Semites too?
These Marionettes have puppets all over the globe. Every world leader is OWNED by them.
Until the peaceful people of the globe RISE UP to reject the money and war machine, we will continue to be victimised by FINANCIAL TERRORISTS such as the Rothschilds.

its ridiculous that people want this, but i know why, its because everyone has become SO dependent on the government, when everyone should try to be independent. ….sheep……

Bloomberg media …
That pretty much says it all!!
A billionaire makes the pronouncement, and of course the ‘poll’ is supposed to representative of the US …
Yeah. Right.
And the moon is made of green cheese …

These idiotic sheeple would kiss Satan’s arse on command if they thought it would please their “Masters”. It’s always “what about me” or “please daddy government, Save Me!”. NO responsibilty or accountability to themselves or their peers. The slaughter is about to start & the frantic baaahing of the sheeple will be deafening. Cover your ears & keep your powder dry. Quick lime is still available at the feed stores.

The last information I had was that 90 to 95 % of the US citizens did not want the bailout and still do not want it. In addition the polls have been shown to be skewed.
For solid information regarding your welfare please start reading the congressional register and then look up who voted yea or nay. By the bills passed you can see which of our representatives sold us out. In doing so they violated their oaths to protect our constitution against all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.
Then it is easy to make the connection that many of our elected and appointed officials in the government are out and out criminals. The evidence is there.
The US Constitution allows us to control the government and if needed to call up our states militias.
And it is us, the citizens, as a whole that allowed this to happen over many years.
When enough of the American Spirit becomes aroused, we will put things right.

nobody wants this bailout except the bankers who’re consolidating more power, and stealing money from the american tax payers. money that should be going to education, health care, social security, and police and fireman.
Don’t believe this garbage about how American’s wanted this bailout. Since when did anyone ask you if you wanted the bail out? Nobody’s asked me if I think the bailout should go through. I think Paulson is trying to make his boys at Goldman Sachs, the Fed Banks, and the IMF happy with his decisions and doesn’t give a crap about the taxpayer.
These polls are absurd. Sure…..how many people literrally asked ot have their money taken, and used to purchase bad investments so we could devalue them and resell them back to the banks? If you ask the question in a poll with some reality behind it you’ll see some real poll numbers!
Propoganda artists are everywhere in the news. Secret Agenda’s rule the world.
