I want a bailout or I'm going to stop working! Oh, wait....
....I'm retired.

I want a bailout or I'm going to stop doing whatever it is that fills up my time!
$20 mil should do it, hardly enough for a congressional hearing.
But if they want me in DC for a hearing, I guarantee I won't take a private jet.

Hurry up and give me the money - several people who work at local stores and a frw online businesses are depending on my spending that money!

This should be a bipartisan effort - I vote Democratic, but I hate the republicans, so they have an equal share of my time.
Money for me now!

1. You aren't filthy corrupt enough or extremely, obscenely wealthy enough for a bailout.
How dare a hardworking commoner ask for a bailout! You might qualify for a morsel from the stimulus package as long as you promise to immediately hand it over to the corrupt corporations by going shopping. Now get back to working for your crumbs and stop bitching and dreaming!
