Basically what these different financial rescue and stimulus bills are doing

Somehow the little guy always takes it in the ear (and other, more painful places) doesn't he? I wish there were a way to let AIG, CitiGroup, GM and similar companies fail without hurting all the employees who put their faith in those companies. And, without hurting all the smaller companies that do business with the big ones, like the parts suppliers to GM.

I'm not bright enough to figure out how to do this though. I doubt anyone really is. (If only there were a way to prove "criminal intent" on the part of the executive officers that set up conditions that allow these situations to happen).
