A bailout is a government-funded cash infusion to a failing business. The most famous is now the bailout of AIG. A market bailout is a government0funded cash infusion to an entire market or market sector. The most recent has been the financial sector. It's when the rich and powerful screw up and they want the people to pay for their loss.
Another answer is when the politicians know the country is deep in debt and so they give some money to the small businesses to pay their debts. Its also sort of like the stimulus checks they sent out to help people.
