The US Government bail out is not just limited to bankers and other wankers of the corporate ilk. Shrewd private citizens are entitled to thousands of non-returnable dollars too. Don't believe me? Check out the dodgy info in the above link.

This Bob Hope quote is not without irony in the present era of bank bail outs. A bank is a place that will lend you money if you prove that you don’t need it. Thanks to karlonia for that financial funny quote.

If you ask me, the bail-outs are proof that banks don't need our money, they need someone to lend them a book on how to run a profitable business.

One man hoping for a bail out (of jail) is Wesley Snipes. Back in 2008, he went down for 3 years for not paying a $15m tax bill. A $5m peace offering in court didn't save him, but there is some hope. If the government keeps on bailing out badly acting bank CEO's, the prison housing the actor, Snipes, will be closed down due to lack of state funding.
