Do you think the Wall St bailout has caused/created a "domino effect"?

Question

A domino effect as in one company after another, one industry after another, and so forth on down the line...to the point that every company and industry gets "bailed out."

Do you think the first bailouts have caused or created a domino effect?

Answer 1

Yep. And the bad part of the whole thing is that the people being bailed out are the same people who has

made billions of dollars from the American people over the past few decades. And now they want money because there products are no longer able to be sold

dew to the cost of living being so high.

Answer 2

No - it hasn't helped, but the dominos were set up over the past 2 decades - it was only a matter of time before one of them fell into another

Answer 3

Whatever you do, the domino effect is always there and it is in the thinking of each one that make the differences.

Answer 4

That is not the root; the US mortgage default,aka fannie and freddie= bank failure caused the wall street domino effect, world wide.

Answer 5

Definitely. There's alot of companies with their hands out looking for help. I think it was a big mistake by the republicans and now the democrats are on the bandwagon. Who bails the regular homeowner out? No one. It's all those fat cats in wall street that are just getting fatter.

Answer 6

Yes, the consumer has lost money and faith throughout all this government control garbage and now all the selfish businesses used to making billions are having to settle for millions and they're getting worried.

Answer 7

Oh yeah - everybody has their hand outstretched. I am sure the retailers will be lining up after Christmas for their piece of the pie - and CHANGE!

Answer 8

Not exactly because that implies causation rather than opportunistic behavior. However, it definitely set a dangerous precedent we should immediately disavow.

Answer 9

wall street and the politicians that sold out the American people have given corporations the misconceptcion that they can just stick out their hand and demand their corporate welfare check.

Answer 10

I need a bailout too.

Answer 12
