Bailout Priorities

Have the government got their priorities skewed?

Why spend, say, £10,000,000,000 to help out a bank which then gets spent on bonuses and does nothing to help the economy?

Why not, instead, spend £100,000 on each of 100,000 small businesses that will spend the money on wages for the workers, materials from other small businesses and actually help keep a few hundred thousand people off the dole?

No gag here, I'm afraid but this isn't that humorous a subject.

As a small business owner, I'd be happy to help out by taking part in a pilot scheme.
