One of the posters in this thread has been out of work for 14 months, probably thru no fault of his own, but a guy who got FIRED gets $200 million. Your assessment of "why give it to the people who screwed it up" fits pretty well with letting Paulson and Bernanke run the bailout when they were the ones in charge when it blew up.
