Another AIG Bailout — What is going on?
Sheesh…everybody was so worried about Obama’s “wealth re-distribution” comments…..while right under our noses we have a Robin-Hood-In-Reverse situation going on. The taxpayers are once again being tapped in order to keep the fatcats from falling flat on their faces….if the public is now even more heavily invested in propping up AIG, we should demand transparency….we need to see there books, and oversee how they are spending OUR money!

I would let all of them aig, gm, ford, and American Express Fail. I do not think the government, which is actually we the people, should put up one cent to bail any one person or company out. If you can’t cut it then you should not be in business anyway. This country guarantees equal opportunity.. NOT EQUAL OUTCOME.. Some must fall to let others rise to the top..
Oh and it will get worse!!!

Gary…unfortunately, I think you are right…things are going to get a LOT worse before they get better. Even if these bailouts were a good idea (and they are not), where would it stop? The car companies are broke…same with the airlines. Would we let Walmart fail? Where would the pro-bailout people draw the line?
