I want a Bailout too. Couple million should do me just fine.

Me three. Hell I'll go for $50k.

[acousticdryad]

I'd be happy with $10k, personally!

I'm sure you can already guess my opinion on this.

I screwed up my own finances, too. Guess I need to head to Congress and get bailed out since clearly, I should not be held accountable, beyond a slap on the wrist, for my own decisions and actions.

Big 3 bailout!

The Senate and the Southern State Senators should be ashamed! They were all very willing to bail out the Banking Industry with no rules on how they spend the money! If you let the Big 3 fail then the country will be lost. The jobless rate will skyrocket. But that's okay with the Southern Senators that have foreign car plants in their state. Can anyone say PAYOFFS!! Exactly how much does a Senator cost?
