LMAO, a comment I found on huffingtonpost:
Dear CitiBank:
U can expect a check in the mail from us (wife and myself) for the difference in what we owe u on our credit card balance (after the end of x-mas shopping spree of course to further stimulate the economy), and what you will be receiving from us as per our portion of the $326 billion bail-out. "Say" $326 billion divided by 200 million taxpayers = $1630 per taxpayer and there is two of us. So, we aren't going to pay u about $3,260 right away. You will be receiving this amount through our tax payments, along with the other 200 million taxpayers, over the next "whatever" years it take. Sorry we didn't get ur permission for this arrangement, but ours was not sought after in the first place as well.....And as far as our excellent credit rating goes. It doesn't seem to matter any more. People with bad credit have bigger homes, more cars, and more credit cards than we do.

They were simply to BIG to fail. Now in the mean time concentrate on becoming obese so that you too may one day be considered to big to fail. As for myself, I have a bag of twinkies to my left and bon bons to my right. I figure in a year or two the government may one day bail me out as well.
Edit: It doesn't hurt to be unionized as well. After all, the Dems are in power now. 😉

Rather than simply complaining about public money being given to corporations (as if this hasn't been the case for decades already in the US, but I digress) why doesn't the american public use this oppurtunity to finally demand some real changes to the way your government and corporations are run in America?
You can tag just about any conditions you want in accordance with these loans, yet I don't really see anyone demanding Washington put measures that will benefit the citizenry. Rather than corporations bowing to the demands of their shareholders, you have the chance to force corporations to bow to the demands of Americans.
Get creative, take your piece of the corporate pie. The economy will rebound and when it does, shareholders will get rich again while your average citizen will receive nothing even though trillions will have been added to the national debt you and your kids will have to pay back to asian and arab investors that have bought up the new treasury debt that has been issued to pay for all these bailouts.
Think about it.

You can tag just about a ...[text shortened]... the new treasury debt that has been issued to pay for all these bailouts.
