Democracy is based on competition, and if we spend the money to help out people that, well, "loose" the competition then the whole point of competition and the market based economy flies out the window. Using that logic we should bail out every single car company, that seems to be Obama's logic considering how he treated GM. This is economics, not ethics. Sure, ethically what your saying is the right to do, but economically it will just continue to make more and more people rely on the government, more and more people sitting on their asses, and more and more debt. Same as feeding the starving children in africa, if you continue to feed them the population will continue to grow and exceed their area's natural support, thus creating more children next generation to starve, because they are relying on the people that are feeding them.
