I agree that it makes more sense to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae than the others.
I certainly am against any golden parachutes for the execs that made this mess.
As for the UN thing, I imagine that the amount is negotiable. The US is relatively cheap when it comes to total money donated per capita. Denmark, Luxembourg and Sweden are at the top of the list, and the US is about no. 28 on a per capita basis. It would be necessary to see that the money goes to valid causes, rather than corruption, of course.
