The investors in depositor companies were (indirectly) bailed out (if there is indeed a shortfall).



"indirectly bailed out" is not "bailed out". The US economy as a whole was "bailed out" by not having a cascading effect of bank failures, does that mean you were "bailed out" too? Are we just devaluing the term entirely?
