[Looking at the word "bail out," I find several definitions, all of them apt to today's swamped economy:]

-To remove (water) from a sinking boat by repeatedly filling a container and emptying it over the side.
[So the taxpayer money, buying up debt and dumping it over the side of the boat is supposed to keep our sinking economy afloat?]
-To grant or obtain the liberty of (a person under arrest) on security given for his or her appearance when required, as in court for trial.
[But if it's public money standing as a security bond, who's going to guarantee that these fat cats stand trial?]
-To make a parachute jump from an airplane.
[Yes, that would be what investors are doing now: cutting losses and selling everything off now.]
-To give up on or abandon something, as to evade a responsibility: "His partner bailed out before the business failed."
[That's what these CEOs are doing.]
-To waylay or rob (someone)
[That's what's happening to the US taxpayers]
-To confine a cow for milking, as in a bail
[That's what's happening to us taxpayers too]

[And I like this definition best of all:]
-bails: (Obsolete) the wall of an outer court of a feudal castle
[All that "free market" nonsense was just until the going got tough -- then we show the kind of economy we _really_ are: "Resistance is feudal!"]

Based on her own words, it sounds like pro-neocon "Democrat" Hillary Clinton expects to share the White House with pro-neocon "Republican" John McCain. Could this be what some pro-neocon elites actually want?
