Bailout Beneficiaries: 8 Key Companies

Umm,,, back to the actual subject of the article: those eight top recipients are humongous organizations with thousands of suppliers/vendors/part... that depend on them for their own survival. This method of stimulating the economy is very similar to Reagan's "trickle down economics", whereby the success of the upper echelon gives the entire food chain a boost, which ultimately benefits everyone. As long as the stimulus funds are considered "loans" and not "gifts", I don't have a problem with this principle. I just hope they keep track of the loans, so we taxpayers get paid back and aren't forever saddled with this debt.
