It is only what we deserve after electing politicians willing to fall for the "we need this package done right now or the economy will collapse" BS that was spun. $700B given out with no firm plan in place. $700B given out with no oversight on the distribution. $700B given out because a lot of people made bad choices and didn't like the consequences. $700B given out because some only pay lip service to the free market. $700B given out which will only make the hole deeper.

BS. Every last penny of it. The $700B isn't meant to prevent to AIG, Citi, the Big 3, etc. fail... it is proof that they've already failed and they just want the taxpayer to pick up the pieces so they can keep their doors open. Good companies don't fail. Bad companies do. Bad companies should be forced to face the consequences of bad management. They either close the doors (only the strong survive) or they are taken over by stronger companies (only the strong survive). Bailouts only encourage poor companies to continue being poor companies.
