bailout

September 2008 plan to try and rescue the US markets from crisis with 700 billion dollars. Eventually passed in October with attachments by congressment for another $150 billion, totaling $850B. A giant fiasco opposed by most economists, see also "we're fucked."

Doesn't matter if I screw up my whole life, I'm going to try and get a government bailout.
