These are companies that have been <strong>mismanaged <\/strong>and are now nearly bankrupt.<br><br>A: I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans.<br><br>B: That may be true, and I for one don\u2019t want to see anyone lose their job, but how can these CEOs ask for a bailout when they\u2019re making millions of dollars? And then, they <strong>have the nerve<\/strong> to fly to Washington in private jets! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they\u2019re asking for money!
