A new opinion poll shows the public wants the U.S. government to halt bail-outs and get moving on a jobs program
The U.S. government should stop bail-outs and develop a “New Deal” era jobs program to get people back to work, according to a new Housing Predictor opinion poll. The survey was conducted over a three week period ending Sunday, during which time President Barack Obama announced his new jobs program proposal.
The survey clearly demonstrates how Americans are divided over just how to improve the nation’s economy, which is suffering from the worst economic downturn since at least the Great Depression. More than a third of those polled said the government should halt bail-outs, and leave things alone so the economy will heal in time.

The second largest segment of those surveyed said the government should create a “New Deal” era jobs program to get the unemployed back to work. The government unemployment rate dropped to 9.7% Friday, but indicates that nearly 7-million people are out of work since the start of the economic downturn.
