The corporate bailouts in 2008 (or was it 2009) made me so mad! I was able to download a list of all the companies that included the "net worth" of the companies, and the amount they received in the bailouts. On average, it was just a few percent of the "net worth" of the companies. The companies could have EASILY raised that money from selling off assets! Yes, it would have hurt them a little, but instead, they got all of the rest of us to bail them out. It was disgusting!
