This is bigger than free market capitalism. This is about keeping the fabric of society together, which I'd argue IS the role of the govt. I don't like bailing out corporations, but the alternative of Great Depression 2 is far worse.
What is the purpose of bailing out big businesses over the average citizens, if the average citizens will not be able to afford to use the services of the Big Businesses, e.g., airlines, cruise industry, lodging and the hospitality industry?
It seems we may have a repeat of bailing out the Big Guys and forgetting about the little guys.
I can say I'm an ardent Trump supporter. BUT, if he bails out Big Business before and instead of us average folks, he will absolutely lose my support.
Can anyone shed light on why it a good and reasonable plan to help Big Business over the average Jane and Joe?
Did not agree with the bail outs in 2008, don’t agree with them now. They make billions in profits and then can’t survive a downturn. Should not be the taxpayers problem.

I'm not for bailouts. However, Government is CAUSING this economic upheaval, not natural market forces. We've never shut down the economy for potential health concerns before. Never.
