I say "buyouts, not bailouts". If the American people want the banks, the airlines, the car manufacturers saved [or if the states where GM and Ford employ the most people want them saved for employment's sake], any government "bailout" money should actually go towards owning the company.

I feel the same way re farm subsidies.  the money should be used to buy up all farming/development rights.  And focus on the river/stream banks that we spend a fortune to keep from flooding.  Let the riparian ecology come back.
