Yes, we should be Santa Claus and give them presents. I'll turn elsewhere for a serious debate. If you think that's the only way the government could help the poor, or that the big-wigs who caused this mess will just vanish as their companies are bought out, you've got another thing coming.
That's exactly my point! They won't vanish, so bailing them out is not going to cause them to stick around. They'll stay either way.
Basically I'm saying that hoping we'll get rid of bad managers is a bad reason to be opposed to the bailout.
If you have ideas for what to do for the poor post them. I don't. But I do know that keeping some companies alive will do more to help people then giving the money to poor people will.
