Or maybe don't pay any federal aid at all. It rewards bad business, hurts competition and obviously doesn't even work. Instead:

- Give aid directly to the employees who need it instead of relying on the trickle down myth - Buy shares to inject capital into companies as a form of financial aid but get something in return for the people who have to pay for it - Never let companies get big enough that a bailout is necessary in the first place - Let businesses fail and get bought by more competent competitors like the market economy doctrine dictates - Prohibit foreign takeovers
