Will, I don't see it as an investment. I see the bailout as a divisive tool for practical purposes. If there was any kind of investment, then there would have been some sort of explanation or expectation set within the bill. It has not been, thus it is not an investment in the conventional understanding and definition.
Until there's an explanation of what the investment return is, there's no investment any different than equating it to: "I'm investing in buying groceries because it is what is needed to power my body so that I can go to work." or even better "I'm investing in a car so that I can drive to work in the next town over." Those aren't investments in the definition of investments, but are the colloquial accepted function of investments.
