And yet that is exactly what they should have done, nothing.

I agree. The large banks should have been allowed to fail and new entities created to pick up the pieces. The reason that didn't happen was 1) the banks have too much influence in government and 2) the government was hugely coupable in the housing bubble and encouraging unsound mortgage lending.
 
Quote from bloomberg:

The survey, conducted Dec. 4-7, finds that 51 percent of respondents think their situation has deteriorated, compared with 35 percent who say they’re doing better.

The real problem is 35 percent people still say they are doing better.

It took only 38% American''s vote to elect Obama as USA President (if I am correct).

Now these 35% to 40% Americans will re-elect Obama in 2012.
 
Not me, I did well under bush and I'm doing well under Obama. If you blame government for your failures you must give government credit for your success also.

Everybody has a head on their shoulders. But a person needs a brain in the head to do wonders.
 
Quote from DEM BONES:

"no shit! i've heard that this guy approval rating is negative,compared to 30% something @lows for Bush"

You must be listening to the wrong people ie Hannity and Limbaugh.

According to the latest WSJ poll Obama approval rating is 49% if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think so. If they made 9 trillion we wouldn't have a national debt problem of 12 trillion. Sarcasim?

USA debts has reached $60 Trillion to $200 Trillion.

"The Government is lying about the amount of debt. It is engaging in Enron accounting," said Laurence Kotlikoff, an economist at Boston University.

the US dollar would skyrocket overnight...
ps-my math is off on those trillion numbers(you know,i didn't use those numbers very often and meaning of trillion is different in us and europe. but anyway- should be enough to cover at least half of us debt, isn't ? interestingly-all those "good" news about FED making the money "for taxpayer" are popping up right after Ron Paul was going to overseeing the fed :p
