For example: This site contains a handy graph demonstrating the size of US government bailouts since 1970. Of course, TARP is the largest, but it's not the first of its kind. A look into how these arrangements turned out is a fun trail of investigation. Lockheed is an interesting one because they appealed to the government for a bailout on the terms that jobs would be lost, well being of the economy, etc. So the government did and then Lockheed started turning a profit. But the profit came from defense contracts commissioned by the government. To that I say hmmm.
