Wall Street welfare

Government programs that allow Wall Street companies to stay in business and pay out their huge salaries and bonuses even though they've screwed up and should go under.
The Troubled Assets Relief Bill that gave $700 billon to Wall Street companies with no strings attached is the ultimate example of Wall Street welfare.
