a) These people are not out of work because their companies failed or laziness, they are out of work because of government regulation. If the government wants to regulate you out of business, yes they owe you money. We do this every year by paying farmers not to grow crops and fishermen to not overfish in order to manage resources, so nothing new here.

b) Far better to bail out individuals than massive institutions.
