Problem is, the gov't is doing the same fucking thing, spending money it hasn't got.
It isn't the same thing at all, actually. There's nothing intrinsically socialist about spending money the government doesn't have.
And before anyone decides to add more meaning to my words than there actually is, I'm not saying that this government bailout is in itself a bad thing (I actually would support it in a different economy), that this whole thing is Bush's fault (it's not), or that the liberal way of handling this is better (it's not). I'm just responding to the idea that these bailouts are leftist or socialist. Both those labels are inaccurate.
