My question is how can you have taxpayer funded bailouts and tax cuts at the same time?

I don't think it is possible to do both at once. I also think bailouts and "stimulus" do not work. They cost the economy more than they put back. The only way for this to be untrue is to print money.

Tax cuts leave 100% of cut-tax money in the economy, not the small percentage that the government gives back out as a bailout or stimulus. The effect is greater and does not slow the economy down to pay for it.

...which costs the economy even more.
