America has heard the words “Bail-out” all too often in the past two years. The idea of a bail out sounds more like a friendly gesture (now that we’ve heard it so much) rather than the crisis state it actually is. Some one or entity does something they probably shouldn’t have and someone else needs to get them out of that situation. And WE the people have to pay for it?
