If you are asking about the Sept 2008 bank bailout, here is the answer.
Bush administration wants to pay more than the price a pool of mortgages is worth on the open market.
This is in esssence a gift to bankers. Think of a mutual fund or stock you have bought and lost money on the investment. The banks and stock brokers made bad investments on sub-prime mortgages, and now want the taxpayers to give them free money to bail them out. If that happens, why doesn't the government give you a check to bail you out over that stock you bought that went down in price?

1. Bailout is a mechanism to strengthen banks' balance sheet so that their credit rating will not deteriorate thus not requiring to pledge additional asset to creditors. 2. It is also a mechanism to safeguard banks from panic withdrawal from depositors. Bailout comes at a cost (a very huge cost), in dollar term, it was estimated that the whole bailout plan will cost every man, woman and children in the US $2,300.

There is no such crisis as the financial bailout package crisis. the bailout was created to overcome the financial crisis.
Yes, smaller banks not receiving bailout funds may indeed be concerned that their financial stability could be perceived as weaker, making them more vulnerable to buyouts and takeovers by larger banks. The lack of support could signal to the market that they are at a higher risk, potentially undermining their competitive position. This situation may encourage larger banks to pursue acquisitions, viewing smaller institutions as opportunities to expand their market share. Overall, the perception of risk and financial health will influence both the behavior of smaller banks and the strategies of larger ones.
Individuals aren't getting bailed out, and the money isn't even going to mortgages. Banks are hoarding the money and what they do with it is a secred. See the link on Congressional oversight below.

No, the bailout is meant to allow funds for business and banks to operate on credit. You would have to qualify for a loan.
Savings and loan banks

Only the big boys are getting bailed out - Banks with ties to the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, Investment banks, etc. See the related question on Congressional oversight.
