What should Congress do with the $700 billion proposal to take pressure off the credit markets?


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As the White House and Congress hammer out the details of a rescue plan for embattled financial institutions, Americans worry that it may reward bad behavior but they also fear that doing nothing may hurt the economy, according to a poll released Tuesday.

In a CNN/Opinion Research poll, 79% of 1,020 respondents said they were worried that the economy could get worse if the government takes no action.

However, 77% also said they believed that a government bail-out would benefit those responsible for the economic downturn in the first place. The poll was taken on Sept. 19-21 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

1. Unfortunately, there's no option

for "shove it tightly up their ass", or for "burn it in front of Wall Street using torches and pitchforks."

3. No painless option. Reject is the only option. nt
