Sense on Cents

Will the financial regulatory reform measures soon to be passed on Capitol Hill prevent another economic crisis? No, that is not a trick question.

An overwhelming percentage of Americans have little to no confidence that the proposed financial regulatory reforms will prevent another crisis. That gem, and many others, are included in a recently released Bloomberg poll. A brief overview of the poll results is displayed in the following chart (click on image to enlarge):

I STRONGLY encourage you to delve deeper into the poll questions. On a number of the questions, I found myself saying, “Wow, are you kidding me..” as to the strength of feelings and emotions running through our nation today.

How do Americans really feel about the TARP? You think Wall Street is vilified? Why are so many incumbents in Washington and state capitols exceedingly nervous about the upcoming elections? Take the 3-4 minutes to review this poll and get a strong sense as to the blood boiling in America’s pulse. Please share this commentary and poll with friends and colleagues.
