Two-thirds of Americans back the idea of government support for “green” industries, said Clay Ramsey from the University of Maryland’s Center on Policy Attitudes.
This pretty well sums up the Americans I know. On numerous occasions I have heard Americans telling me that they shouldn't back a failed system. I think they (government) didn't. They just plane and simpled backed the failed bankers. It was just a demonstration of how much the bankers controlled the US government. The way I see it, the bankers got cash rapidly when they wanted it, without much debate, whilst when the people wanted something done on heathcare (be it right or wrong) and elected Obamarama to get it delivered, they (government) can't do it for months and endless debate. So it demonstrates who really is in control! They even targeted the wealthy corporations from the outset with too big to fail, or put another way, too small too live for others, just like the people on the street!
