Not to play Devil's advocate, but for the filmmakers to be put in the same league as the bailout they'd have to pay twice as much as each car's worth for every useless explosion, and force every American tax payer to shell out for watching the film without being let in to the theater. I mean, when we bailed out the banks we didn't just give them money, we borrowed the money from them, which is weird when you consider they supposedly don't have any money to loan, so will pay not just the billions we promised but interest as well.

Of course, I admit that when I think "funny cop picture!" I don't think, "indepth analysis of how mortgage 'brokers' in certain jurisdictions were allowed to operate without any sort of licensing and peddled the sub-prime loans for homes that were not appraised, even at the time, for the large sums the mortgages were made out for, and the subsequent revenue local governments across America are losing because banks aren't forced to pay property tax on foreclosed homes".

Yeah.
