Yet Congress is still planning on doing a "bail out". What does that say about their opinion of American public? Do they think we are just ignorant uninformed goofs?

1. Yes, but they would not put it nearly as nicely as you did.
To them we are a commodity, a source of wealth and power to be sheared or slaughtered at will, and a huge inconvenience every two years.

2. Since we continue to vote them back into office every
couple of years, why should they think any differently?

I want a NONE OF THE ABOVE on my ballot.

3. I am somewhat comforted by a WAPO poll this am that says 47% approve
43% disapprove of a "bail out" - given it's likely to happen. I wonder who those "disapprove" voters are in terms of political party affiliation?
