Apply for bailout money! No, no, you probably won't get any but it would send a great message if lots of ordinary people applied. It states you must be a bank holding company. If you are a U.S. taxpayer, you do qualify; you do own a few banks now.

Here is the form:

If nothing else it may make the wheels of government even more inefficient. That is always a good thing.

Thanks! I just think this is more effective than calling your congresscritter. This gets to the heart of the issue.
