We must demand that we all become owners of these companies, and that the Government's investment is one that will show a return, not bring us into an even larger hole.

There is a model believe it or not. When Mexico had a currency crisis about 12 years ago, the United States stepped in with several central bank stabilization programs. We not only got paid back quickly, the US Government made a several billion dollar profit off the transaction(s). If we do it right this time, each of us should become partial owners through stock or bonds issued to all of us of any company being bailed out. But this way all of us could benefit when these companies that are temporarily in the down cycle go the other way and turn back into the up cycle.
