I am looking at the economy as a whole. Where you and I disagree, is the economic impacts that would have happened if not for the bailout.
I think the same number of people are effected negatively (possibly worse) this way, they if they had failed last year.
To use your analogy, we spent billions of dollars to not kill 100,000 people 10 months ago, but kill 125,000 people now.
