It is not only businesses that getting this money. This bill is hundreds of pages long. Over $600 million is being provided for converter boxes to digital TV and Congress has delayed implementation another three months cosing companies millions because they must continue to transmit in both systems. ACORN is getting over $4 billion. WWII Filipino war vets [most not US citizens] are receiving hundreds of millions of dollars. Our failing school systems are being rewarded with tens of billions of dollars. This is mostly a pork bill rather than a stimulus bill. And most of the money is not going to bailout businesses.

If I recall correctly, these bonuses were given before the bailout money was provided.

I think everyone is probably on the same page here. The bailout is not a bailout, it is a huge power grab. I am disgusted by all of it. Acorn gets 4 billion, what!!?:?? 350 million for STD prevention. Nancy Pelosi said that her 150 million for condoms was her way of saving the people 700 million! Holy crap! And some people actually believe this garbage! I own a company and pay well and enjoy immensely giving big bonuses, it means we are doing very well. An insolvent company paying out millions in bonuses at this time is a very bad move. I also have 4 kids in private school. I will not nor will my kids school be given any help, hell I don’t want anything other than some of my taxes back since I do not use their school system. To you and me the government schools are failing but to them it is all coming together exactly as they envisioned. These are very dark times, try to not take anything from the government, that is how they own you, just like they now own CITI, AIG,Bank of America, etc.
