AIG was so happy about the bailout they spent $440,000 on a party to celebrate at a posh California resort.:banghead:In theory some of that was my money and I didn't get invited.
Doesn't surprise me at all. Insurance is pretty much a scam anyway.
That is correct.:banghead:Guess what. I just heard this morning that the government might lend them another $35 Billions.
This is sick.
Is there any way to fire everyone in gov't and hire people smarter, and more talented for the jobs?
Ya know as much as it will pizz me off. :nonod: I'd love to see the beginning value and exit value of those who make such decisions. Bush's net value before/after office, same for VP and all those such "high" politicians. I just know it'll pizz me off! I somehow suspect that income gained from oil investments will be hugh. Wadda ya think?
:iagree: Here here..:thumbsup:Doesn't surprise me at all. Insurance is pretty much a scam anyway.
They used Scare Tactics to frighten everyone. Then the media got ahold of it and next thing we knew....The sky was falling :willy_nilly:!!!Its ironic how they once again rushed everyone into something that we are all going to be sorry about down the road...As for the AIG, I would like to see some indictments...
There needs to be something drastic done to WAKE UP our Government!Unfortunately, these individuals will get re-elected. I am sorry to say that some of the people I speak with, and who will vote in November, get their news from late night talk shows and internet blogs that don't use facts for their comments.
It is very scary but I, like you, am optimistic. :yesnod:
Yea, This is yet another thing that's total BS! Congress having a separate lucrative retirement plan that is.But what really gets me is that Congress members are not part of the SS system. They have a separate retirement plan that is very, very lucrative for the number of years they serve in Congress.
Well, if you have to fix the SS system, then give up the system the Congressional members have and put them into the SS system. Take the funds that have been set aside for Congressional retirements and put it into the SS fund. I know overall it would be a drop in the bucket, but let's make them look and act as much like the rest of us as we possibly can.
