Well, gee, if those are the only other alternatives you can imagine,
I wouldn't expect you to be able to "get it".
C'mon, I know you can be a more critical thinker than that.

Ah, now you've hit the main issue. Their companies are crumbling, but
they still "have every right" to live as they always have. That sense
of entitlement is exactly the reason that so many people oppose this
bailout. Do the people who actually do the work get these perks? Of
course not.
Here's another tidbit to chew on: the *total* compensation for
Toyota's CEO is less than one million dollars. Contrast that to GM's
Wagoner, who, during 2007 when the firm suffered all-time record
losses, got a 64% raise to over $14 million!
