"personally id go for all of them as they all employ people who need the help"
Why not go direct to bailing out the people. Let free-market-capitalism deal with the businesses. That is, they go bankrupt, their assets are sold off, the money goes to the bond holders, and the share-holders get whatever is left? Aren't we a capitalist country, and isn't that the capitalist way? Why suddenly everyone in favor of saving businesses because they create jobs, when no one was worried about how much those jobs paid or what benefits the workers got?
Suddenly it's all about the workers... BULLSHIT. Bailout is all about preserving the wealth of the stockholders.
As MLK said: This country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.
