Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

yes, yes I do

Answer 3

Ever hear of Northern Rock, it's something British Conservatives get annoyed with too.

Answer 4

Yep i surely do at that !

Answer 5

Yes I do because these usually come after hike in prices for the general public and after companies making hugh profits then suddenly can not stay afloat? It would make you wonder what their agenda was to begin with knowing they had excess to a bailout.Thousands of companies have gone belly up without help,what makes them so special? Especially those who have been in business for long years thru all the differing economy's and suddenly say they can't any longer.What makes us think 5 years from now with all the help they got it won't happen again?Banks,mortgage companies knew exactly what they were doing if not then who would understand money better? That's what their business is.

Answer 6

Don't you?  Being in business is about risk taking. If you work hard and make good business decisions, your business grows. If not you go under.  Who do you think is going to have to pay these huge bills when they come due?  You guys are.  Tomorrow's working generation.  

Answer 7

I certianly do especially when it is deadbeats who don't pay their mortgages and then expect the government to bail them out.  Shame on the borrowers and shame on the banks for loaning money to anyone that was breathing!

Answer 8

I m not a conservative, but I m sure they wont answer and if they do it will be backed up by that's how we will have a job, when its our tax dollars and many companies are not stationed in the US anymore to avoid paying taxes here.  Its incredible,, that most of those bailouts resulted from the stock market needing to have high risks to drive it up, while middle class AMericans lost their jobs, retirement money and CEO's are still protected when the companies "fail" , No great loss for them!  These are the people who use "welfare" as an excuse for high taxes or blame "lazy" people  not the ones stealing,lying,cheating , "representing us"
