My family's share of the Wall Street bail-out

Would someone please tell me the address to send the check for my family's share of the Wall Street bail-out?

$12,000. That's the estimated cost for me, my wife, and our two children.

Truth is, if it works, it will be a bargain. We stood to lose a lot more than that if the country falls into a full-blown depression. We (and don't be deceived, we are the government) had to do something!

Government is not the enemy. Government is the way we address our common needs and challenges. After some hesitation last week, we came together to heal a festering wound in our body politic. I hope the patient survives.
