“Polls conducted in September and October already revealed considerable doubts about government help for ailing financial institutions, and those surveyed told pollsters the situation was serious and that they would be hurt by it.

But by December, Americans were much more critical.

In a NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that month, for example, only 27% approved of the “plan”—the word bailout was not used—to “stabilize financial markets, make investments in financial institutions, and make credit available to business and consumers,” while 50% disapproved.

In answer to ABC News/Washington Post and CNN/Opinion Research Corporation questions in January, roughly six in 10 respondents said the government and Congress should not dole out the second half of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) funds. (They were eventually released, per Obama’s request.)”

And if you'll look closely children, you'll also see Porkulus II and III in this photo from 2009.
Your great grandparents, grandparents, and parents have nearly paid off half of the cost of Porkulus now.
In 75 years or so, your great grandchildren will be able to start paying down Porkulus II.

And to think, economists then and now knew none of them would help.
They were merely ways for a party knows as the Democrats,
to try to pay off people and organizations who supported them in 2008.
