Geoff Martindale has created an iPhone game that lets you bail out all the too-big-to-fails, you get to play Helicopter Benny and your job is to engineer the biggest bailout in the history of the universe to bail out every single company. iPhone users can download the game over here, unlike all those lovely government interventions this game won't cost you a dime.
The names of the companies to be bailed out are shown on the bottom of the screen, in stock ticker format. For example, C for Citigroup, GM for General Motors.

The debt of each company is denoted by the blue and green bars. The taller the bar, the greater the toxic debt.

Tap the screen to drop a bundle of dollars and help bail out a company. Only one wad of cash can be dropped at a time, so manage your bailouts carefully.
