I don't think the investors in those firms got bailed out at all. This is a misleading cartoon.
I disagree. The son did imply he got rich and then lost everything, which would be an accurate description.
Anon 8:25,
Note that the son's shirt says 'investment firms' not 'investors of firms'. The firms are getting bailed out. The Fed created $200b out of thin air so JPMorgan could buy Bear Stearns.
