Secretary Geithner's public-private partnership to buy up toxic assets will not help stabilize the financial system. Now we just own toxic assets.

The Bush Administration is more responsible than the Obama Administration for the U.S. stock market decline in 2009.

The government should allow large banks to fail. Sorry....but considering a Fed's bailout as part of your business plans leads to very risky decision making. Let them fail.

The New Deal prolonged the Great Depression.

The U.S. government should try to recoup AIG bonuses. AIG should be punished.

Southwest Airlines is the low-cost U.S. airline I prefer to fly with.

Governments should not nationalize insolvent banks in response to the financial crisis.

The U.S. economic recovery package will not lead to GDP growth.

Pepsi's new logo is worse.

Pepsi makes a better tasting cola than Coke.

The government should regulate salaries of companies who have received bailout funds. If you are going to "belly up" to the taxpayer bar, then you chose to lose the right to run your company without government oversight. You have lost credibility. Personally, I think you should be fired with no golden parachute.

The economic stimulus plan should not include a 'Buy American' provision. What are we going to buy anyway. What does the US make that people use everyday? Anything? So what's the big deal? Except for the fact that it is just one step closer to Socialism.

Public investment should have a higher priority than tax cuts in Barack Obama's stimulus package. We are in debt up to our...... How can we cut taxes. How about we efficiently manage what we have first. Cut the pork out and pay our debts.

Employers should monitor employee Internet access in the workplace. I don't pay people to surf the internet. And If I find out your are surfing child porn on my server....well let's just say.....if you live through it...your fired!

Obama's proposal for creating jobs through infrastructure projects will not create jobs fast enough to shorten the recession. And...where are we going to get the money to do that?

The U.S. recession will last throughout 2009. If not longer!

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union should not agree to cut wages. I do believe there might be some concession that could be made. But I don't believe their wages are out of line with the cost of living. I believe the execs should drastically cut their wages, if not just give them back. They clearly haven't earned them.

Tobacco companies should not be liable for smoke-related health problems. No more than Krispy Kreme should be responsible for my next heart attack.

Japan makes the most reliable cars. I think Japan makes the most reliable car but they make it in the US....The Toyota Camry.

Movie stars' salaries are not justified.

The U.S. federal government should not provide financial support to its auto industry. I am tired of bailing everyone out because of poor business practices. These big corporations are holding the US hostage. It's time for us to diversify. I about guarantee a Federal bailout was part of their business plan.

There should not be an international central bank. I think that would make us as vulnerable if not more than depending on foreign oil.

Obese travelers should pay more for airline tickets. Yes if the take up the space of two people then they should pay for two people. It's pretty aggravating when I pay for my seat and someone is taking up their seat and half og mine as well.

Management is most responsible for the U.S. auto industry's financial problems. When foreign car manufacturers were making smaller cars and Toyota became the #1 car seller the US manufacturers didn't change their business plan.

Congress should not increase the cap on federally insured bank deposits. That is a waste of time and energy and as little affect on the majority of the population. Open a new account if your account goes over 100K per depositor.

The government should not offer cash rewards to citizens for developing new technology. Why should the government offer cash rewards. Develop it, patent it and sell it. Make your own money.

Dunkin' Donuts brews a better-tasting coffee than Starbucks. Starbucks brewed coffee is bitter and acidic.

The federal government's financial bailout package will not help stabilize the U.S. economy. IT WILL ONLY PROLONG THE INEVITABLE

Lehman Brothers should not have been bailed out by the federal government.

The financial crisis will lead to another economic depression. This is not the end of it. We can not continue to live beyond our means.

AIG should not have been bailed out by the federal government. That just sets a precedent for others to follow.

Cutting corporate tax rates is not an effective method of creating jobs. If you can call severely taxing companies who shut down US operations and move them overseas and not taxing them more than normal if they don't, then Yes. To just give a corporation Tax cuts for just "being" only allows the CEO's to pocket more money. R

The federal government should not pass the proposed $700 billion financial system bailout. There is no guarantee it will work. The same politicians that got us into this mess think they can now get us out. I don't think changing the rules of economics is the answer. I think changing the leaders that got us hear is the answer. Take that 700

The U.S. is undergoing the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. It's a disaster. This is no "correction"!! We are being socialized.

The federal government is most responsible for the current financial crisis. I could only choose one, but everyone on the list plays a certain roll in this but.....I feel the Federal Government is the most at fault. They have set a precedent that..."You can make unsound and risky business decisions and if you fail we will bail you

Victims of major natural disasters should not be granted special relief in bankruptcy. Either buy the insurance to cover it or take your chances. I basically live at the base of an active volcano. That's my choice. When and if she blows again...that's my problem.

Bush Administration policies have had a negative impact on the economy.

The Microsoft commercials featuring Jerry Seinfeld do not effectively compete with Apple's Mac campaign. What commercials?

The Treasury Department should block severance packages for Fannie and Freddie corporate executives. Their agreements were with the former companies. Now that the US Government controls them all bets are off. It appears to me they probably didn't earn them. You shouldn't be able to screw up at this magnitude and still be rewarded for it.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should not be nationalized. I am telling you now, this is going to be a problem!!
