From Bailout To Sellout
There is no historical basis for the theory that Americans have always been resistant to government action. To say the least, it has always depended on what that actual or proposed action was. But after all that money for drug companies, auto companies, banks, and the rest of them, it is no wonder that a lot of Americans (though not in fact all that many) are suspicious at this point. If the public option is sacrificed, then bailing out the plutocracy will be the reason why. So much, on any level, for the "free" market.
