The people that make the rules took care of themselves. Principles be damned. Flounder's quote is the best summary of all this I've seen.

What's worse is of the trillions of dollars being thrown around and committed to these failing companies, none of it will ever make its way back to taxpayers. And the same people who caused this mess are the ones deciding how we're going to get out if it.
