Check out the Treasury's own website for the numbers, we are still on the hook for at least $100 billion. Burnett is a former Citi and Goldman Sachs exec, so she worked for bailed-out firms. Still, that's not the point. People aren't protesting the bailout. They are protesting an economic system so corrupt that inept banks are rewarded while the rest of us pay the bill.
