This week’s poll asked what people think about the federal government’s role in American business and life. The poll was not scientific and was driven by radio listeners of the syndicated Don Creech Radio Show (www.DonCreech.com) and subscribers to Investor Resources Week In Review email update.
Should the government force pay cuts on top executives at the Wall Street firms that received government bailout money?
Almost sixty percent of respondents answered this in the affirmative. Apparently, if you are going to go to the taxpayer for funding, you should be willing to accept government imposed limitations on compensation. If you don’t like that, don’t ask for the bailout.
Does Wall Street have to much influence over the government’s economic recovery policy?
The euphoric tide of the 90s has turned against Wall Street. More than eighty five percent believe that Wall Street has too much influence on the recovery policy. This seems especially so when Wall Street has returned so quickly to at least the appearance of health while the rest of the economy remains in the doldrums. Certainly, the anticipated bonuses on Wall Street seem grossly disconnected from the high unemployment numbers today.
Has the governments’ recovery policy helped you personally?
