You guys do realize that "bail out" money is not just money straight down the toilet, right?

Much of it is loans and purchasing of existing debt. When you buy a mortage, you don't write down the entire value of the house. The houses may be worth less, but they still have a value.

The auto industry has to pay back that money. The last time a loan was made (Chrysler) it was actually paid back ahead of time.

So you're not talking about money staight down the toilet like many of you seem to think.
