@9CQ76K81yr1Y
The Government should never bail out any company, no matter how important it might be to the national economy, since, private companies often fail for not keeping up with the market.
@9CPMHG41yr1Y
Government should have temporary equity ownership clause. Once the recession is done and the situation becomes conducive, it should sell its share.
@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
Yes, but when the company starts to perform well, the government should sell some of its equity stake or turn it into a non-voting stake

No. While I do not like how much freedom the private sector has, I do not believe the government has any right to own a share of private companies.
@7RMJFMM4yrs4Y

@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
Equity, yes, but the company must be able to buy back that equity.
@8GBB4FJ4yrs4Y
No, the government really shouldn't be bailing out companies in the first place.
@7YFGPVT4yrs4Y
Yes, under the stipulation that the bailed out company re-acquire that equity within a given time or the company is wholly sold to the highest bidder to buy out the government stake. This program should administered by an independent entity which would be audited by congress

@4DG98SF4yrs4Y
No, the government shouldn't bail companies out at all.

No, and it should bail out companies. If a company has not prepared themselves to weather a recession then it was not a well-run company to begin with

No, and no company should ever be bailed out
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
No, any assistance should be in the form of a Federal government loan that is repaid with interest once the company is back on firm financial footing. Such assistance should only be done in special circumstances, such as a way of lessening the depth and length of a recession
@8DH7Y954yrs4Y

The government should get money back form the companies they help but never own shares.
@8LG9WPJ4yrs4Y
I don't believe in free bailouts. Companies should be held accountable for that money and there should be some type of control or oversight and it should have to be paid back eventually. Corporate CEO's of those companies should have to take a pay cut if they receive money in a bailout.
