I'm sorry, but if you actually look at either program the typical American got screwed ...

In the auto bailout Bondholders (also known as retirement funds) were illegally wiped out to protect the interests of big labour; and in the bank bailout financial executives were protected from the consequences of their mistakes while the typical American home owner was allowed to continue suffering.

Even with screwing typical Americans, this is still just an accounting "trick" to hide the truth from fools.
