What Does The Man On The Street Think About Recovery?

There is a great deal of frustration in the minds of the average man or woman. They have been reading reports about the $787 billion stimulus bill and the billions of dollars the government has put into beleaguered auto manufacturers and financial institutions.

At an individual level, those who really messed up their lives managed to get a loan modification on their mortgage payments. Surprisingly however, the ones who led a conservative life, and were responsible citizens in terms of buying assets that they could afford, and spending only that much that they felt was prudent, are being denied benefits. It looks like the various categories of assistance provided through the stimulus bill has nothing for the individual who isn’t in dire straits. Is that fair?
