Let's not fall into the semantics trap of calling what's going to happen 'Stimulus'

This is going to be a BAILOUT, not 'stimulus'.

Obama's TARP plan was extremely comprehensive, involve all kinds of measures including tax rebates, help for community banks, extra money for medicaid, and all sorts of other stuff. I believe only around $300B was given to corporations.

And lets not forget that the companies that received TARP funds received them for PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES, and providing jobs. Roads, Infrastructure, solar panels, etc.

It was NOT a free handout. Further, there were strict limits on bonuses to execs working for companies, along with lots of other rules imposed.

What's about to happen is much more correctly a BAILOUT, like Bush did with the Banks in 2008.
