If those little companies depend on the big ones for credit you might see them fail instead.

I'd rather bail them out, then later when the recession is over, recover the debt by breaking them up and selling the parts off (unless they pay the debt off first as some are currently doing).

Why give that money to the smaller companies? Is this a universal tax credit you are calling for?

I am for weeding out older companies, and breaking up monopolies. A Changing of the gaurd. Why do we have to rely on old banks to give credit, when they couldn't afford to do so because of their failed policies? We should give the money to smaller, harder working companies that are in competition. What does it matter if we give "citi Bank" the money to loan credit, or "Joe Smith's Banking and Loan" except, the smaller company is going to try harder to please, while a large company is going to give their people bonouses, and forget to lend money to smaller companies, so they are forced to go bankrupt. As it is happening now!

Deregulation is all the help small companies need. Big companies ask for regulation because they want protection from the small companies.

I can agree with the first, but not the second. Also, it's important to remember that most people in a "bad" corporation aren't necessarily bad, or even greedy. Only the people at the very top really made the decisions.
