Economic Bail Out Purposal
Take 700 billion dollars, divide it by 500 million (the population of the U.S.) and distribute it. Better yet, give the money to those who where smart enough to not let themselves get taken by unethical loan practices and have faithfully made their house payments over the last few years. I figure that would increase liquidity in the banks, pay off debt, and cause a real consumer economic boom. Plus, their would be a real increase in available jobs because of all the people who would be retiring early and traveling, not to mention investing that money. Why give it to the bozos that caused the problem in the first place?

Or, better yet, let investors buy up the plunging assets as their cost goes low enough to justify the risk. No government involvement needed. Why bother picking our pockets just to put it back there? Subsidy to the wallet industry?
