No one likes adding debt but Americans are prepared to do what we have to do to get out of this mess. That's the message in the poll, ten. You and your boys are screwing up........once again. ;-)

Hey Ted, it's a good thing you linked to the entire article, because you missed a few points:

> On Obama's plan to help some homeowners who can't pay their mortgages, a 59% majority call the aid "necessary" — but a 51% majority also call the taxpayer-funded rescue "unfair."

> The federal deficit worries many: By 59%-37%, they say adding too much to the debt is a greater risk than spending too little to boost the economy.

And here's my favorite. It all depends on the language you use:

> When it comes to stabilizing banks, public attitudes vary depending on the language used. Half of the 1,013 people called in the survey were asked about the government "temporarily taking over major banks in danger of failing;" 54% approved.

> Half were asked about the government "temporarily nationalizing major banks in danger of failing;" 57% disapproved.

Yep, nice to see fickle public opinion backing you up there, Ted, LOL ...
