But the punishment is deserved, we have abused the capitalist system. Now It´s time to become more socialist and we cannot do anything about it. Blame Greenspan and Rubin. And Bush.

I.e., if I buy Coke and the cost is now $1.45 instead of $1.25, I have an additional $0.20/soda that I'm paying for the bailout.

But keep in mind that $2,800 is for the average tax payer who earns around $42k a year. If you earn more you will pay more. Though your 401k is likely more as well. I see your logic.

This is not a blanket giveaway as you allude to. Now the probability of seeing a return will be minimal as the President and Congress will undoubtedly use this to pass along to political favors to liquidate the governments assets in these investments at .10 on the dollar with the difference going to the political croney. Same old song. In the end we all get hosed. But in summary $2800 to prevent a 25% drop in my 401K?......
