Watch your mouth. I'm no socialist, and nor are bailouts "socialist". Sometimes they are necessary. A collapse of the financial market in this country would be devastating. It wasn't caused by "socialism" in the 30's, either. All the unemployed, hungry and homeless that would result couldn't be blamed on "socialism" now could it. It would be the result of a collapse of a capitalist market system. Marxist dictators like Stalin were the cause of millions starving. It was a deliberate act.
