What’s Wrong With Trickle Up?

Over the past several months, the government has given billions of dollars to banks and auto companies.

Someone suggested the government should have given the money to us, the US citizens. I agree with this concept. Why not give billions to us and let us pay off our mortgages and credit card debt? That would give the banks money that they could lend and also provide extra cash so we could buy new cars. Whether or not borrowers were negligent, I think it has been shown that Wall Street and the auto makers were far more negligent.

What do you think? As alwats, comments are always welcome.
