The government did not give your employer $200 Billion so that your paycheck won't bounce. They used the money to prop up the banking system so that the banks would not collapse and you only benefited from the transaction.
Think of what would have happened if they had not propped up the banks let large financial institutions fail? I wonder what the $20.00 in your wallet would have bought the day after? Maybe a candy bar or soda? They averted a disaster. The irony is that politicians never get credit for averting disaster! Seriously, history is full of examples of collapsed financial systems and it's never pretty. The result is always rampant inflation & cost increases to the point where you could wake up the next day to discover the money in your pocket will only buy 1/2 what it bought the day before. Then you would wake up the day after to see the same decline again!

Depends, is it the same government that gave my employer $200 Billion so that my paychecks didn't bounce?
