Don't forget Carnival Cruise Lines... which doesn't even pay any taxes in the US as a corporation since it flies a flag of convenience and doesn't employ many Americans.
You're right that they did not specifically bail out Carnival. They bailed out the entire junk bond sector, which allowed companies like Carnival to raise money much more easily.
The president and leader of the GOP wanted to give cruise lines, who are NOT paying federal taxes and fly foreign flags to dodge US taxes a giant bailout but give US cities some help? Hell no!
