Basically, the "bailout" was the government buying worthless mortgage bonds, and then holding them for years until the "market" recovers and they can sell them.
The newer stuff that is being planned, like raising the FDIC limit to 250,000, and requiring banks and companies to write down their assets at the end of the year to the market value of those assets. those are a much better idea.
