Note that the bailout came with absolutely no strings attached. Apparently nothing went wrong that caused an $86 billion shortfall so no changes need to be made going forward.
Now do college tuitions, bank bailouts, auto bailouts, solar subsidies, oil subsidies, farm subsidies, and all the other nearly countless ways that the government plays around with your tax dollars to put the money into the pockets the current administration and Congress decided was the most important.
After the bank bailouts they passed Dodd-Frank. We could discuss whether it was adequate but at least it was something.
