C1

1) I was mapped as a liberal according to the quiz with 70 as my personal issues score and 10 as my economic issues score.

2) One question I was unsure about was written as "end corporate welfare. no government handouts to businesses." While I believe that Obama's bailout of the automobile industry was necessary and did a lot to help the financial situation of many Americans I am less inclined to support the U.S. government's  bailout of Goldman Sach's. I think that, perhaps, some federal regulation needs to come along with the money offered to these businesses to prevent the kind of management that created problems in the first place. It seems incredibly unfair that the CEOs of failing businesses should receive enormous bonuses. At the same time many other Americans depend on these businesses for their livelihood. Government bailout of corporations is an issue that I am not entirely decided on.
