Has Bailout helped the U.S. economy?

After Bear Stearns’ bailout U.S housing market is still in tremble. Now again Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been bailed out by the Government. which did not improve the U.S housing market so far. Now Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual are looking for a bailout. How long and how many companies will the U.S goverment keep bailing out? Would Bailout with tax payer money help the U.S economy? Is it fair, to give away tax payer money, for some CEO wrong business judgement? Is it fair that common stock holders loose there money because of the government taking over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? At the same time, each CEO gets paid Fifteen Million Dollars for the “Golden Handshake.”
