All government expenditures, including the bailout, come from the US Treasury.

The US Treasury takes in tax money. If that is not enough to pay the bills (including the bailout), then the Treasury borrows additional money.

Think of the Treasury as a big pile of cash. When you pay taxes, they throw your money in the pile. When they borrow money, that gets thrown in the pile, too. When they spend money, whatever is on top of the pile gets taken off and sent to whoever the money is owed to.

The Treasury has not been taking in enough money to cover regular government expenses for the last eight years, let alone to cover the bailout. They borrow the rest. Politicians have not addressed the question of how they are going to pay back all the loans.

Who thinks the rich like Oprah Winfrey and D Trump need to pay the bailout instead of the common American?

I don't. Why should private citizens pay bailout? Are you suggesting this just because they are wealthy? The bailout isn't charity; the government is purchasing assets. If Trump and Winfrey were to fund the bailout, this would give them a lot more influence and power. Honestly, I'd rather the American public finance this instead of one or two wealthy Americans that do not represent my values as a middle-class worker. I have no say what Trump and Winfrey do, but as a registered voter, I DO have a voice in my government.
