Yes, the government should receive equity for any bail outs as well as dividends or interest on assistance until the capital is paid back.

The government shouldn't bail out failing companies. Let the free market handle whether a company is successful or fails.

 @9QW7TQZfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

No, it should be Illegal to bale out private companies, let the free market go under. and simply provide welfare for those who have been hurt if they are in need

 @9MCP3CRfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

No, the government should limit market interventions and any bailouts should be treated as a loan to be paid back.

 @9HCP7QVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No. The government should not be involved in picking winners/losers. Tax dollars should not be misappropriated from citizens to bail out failing companies.

 @9D7D4RJfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes ... MOST important question for sure. That bombardier hand out was ridiculous 3-4 years ago. They took the Gov hand out and gave themselves bonuses. This would make them atleast think about it.

The government should not bail out large, multinational corporations, and any corporation that is "too big to fail" should be broken up. If the government is bailing out a small business or mom & pop shop, it should not gain a stake.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, the government should not be engaged in any corporate bailouts unless they will prevent the severity and depth of a recession, or keep a recession from turning into a full-fledged depression

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, the government should not be engaged in any corporate bailouts unless they will prevent the severity and depth of a recession, or keep a recession from turning into a full-fledged depression. In either case, the government should not own shares of a private company

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

No, any assistance should be in the form of a Federal government loan that is repaid with interest once the company is back on firm financial footing. Such assistance should only be done in special circumstances, such as a way of lessening the depth and length of a recession

 @8DH7Y95 from Washington  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but those funds should go to programs for all such as Social security, or public schools, or healthcare for all.

 @8F5PKLS from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8H5D7FC from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

 @8HCRRMJ from Idaho  answered…4yrs4Y

No but the government should go after a recoup of those bail-out loans to corporations as vigorously as they go after student loan debt.

 @8J397BY from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

The government should not bail out any private companies during a recession unless it directly affects public welfare.

 @8WGCNHYfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

No, the gouvernment should not be bailing out companies. It should allow natural selection to do it's job.

 @8JY6NCS from New York  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes until the company is back on it's feet and returns all proceeds from bailout. All high level bonuses should be eliminated until such time as well.

 @8KX67Q9 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

No. While I do not like how much freedom the private sector has, I do not believe the government has any right to own a share of private companies.

 @8KTRBGL from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8L6JF5Q from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8L3W9MQ from Illinois  answered…4yrs4Y

The government should get money back form the companies they help but never own shares.

 @8LG9WPJ from Maryland  answered…4yrs4Y

I don't believe in free bailouts. Companies should be held accountable for that money and there should be some type of control or oversight and it should have to be paid back eventually. Corporate CEO's of those companies should have to take a pay cut if they receive money in a bailout.

 @4W48KKZanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but the company should be able to buy back their equity at the price of the original value.

 @4VXDGTFanswered…4yrs4Y

No, The government should not bail out corporations. There is no such thing as “too big to fail.”

 @3GZTJR2answered…4yrs4Y

No, the government should never bail out any private company or own their shares

 @558YLXVanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but equity stakes should be returned to the company if/when the company pays back an agreed-upon amount of the bailout.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, the government should never own shares of private companies, but should require the money to be more of a loan which should be paid back eventually

 @8ZSZ292 from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8GBB4FJ from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

No, the government really shouldn't be bailing out companies in the first place.

 @827K8WT from South Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only until the equity is equal to the amount the company received.

 @7YFGPVT from Utah  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, under the stipulation that the bailed out company re-acquire that equity within a given time or the company is wholly sold to the highest bidder to buy out the government stake. This program should administered by an independent entity which would be audited by congress

 @57CFYVFanswered…4yrs4Y

 @2PFH3VCanswered…3yrs3Y

 @Zucce05answered…4yrs4Y

 @7XXG2L7 from California  answered…4yrs4Y

No, and it should bail out companies. If a company has not prepared themselves to weather a recession then it was not a well-run company to begin with

 @8232JX9 from Illinois  answered…4yrs4Y

The government should not be bailing out any company large enough to offer equity stakes.

 @8BYLJPN from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

I don't understand the question well enough to provide an educated response.
