I don't think that's true at all. Not knowing much about economics does not cause people to have less strongly held opinions on it, it often causes them to have more. There are millions of people who don't even understand basic economic concepts who are vehemently opposed or in favor of government bailouts.

I think mostly its because of ideological difference (small government, national debt, non-republican government) over actual rational opinion on economics (This is not to say I support or disapprove of the bailout).
If this was a non-ideological/political position we would be having a civil war over bushes spending during his term.
