Emotions Running High Over $700B Bailout

According to a recent poll, 55 percent of Americans do not believe that any taxpayer dollars should go to rescuing private companies, regardless of the effect that their collapse would have on the overall economy.

There are few, if any, who believe that the value of the dollar has anywhere to go but down.
