Okay, we're all sick & tired of hearing about the financial crisis and the subsequent Bailout by the U.S. Gov't....However, it does present some interesting precedents for other fiscal tomfoolery!

The first that occurs to me is that the next time I run up a ridiculous tab at a Bar (unlikely, I know) and I can't pay; then all the other patrons of the Bar should have to pitch in to cover my Whisky Fiending Ways. After all, if they don't, the whole bar-patron economy may well collapse!
