Great job congress
AIG was so happy about the bailout they spent $440,000 on a party to celebrate at a posh California resort.  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.

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...

Guess what. I just heard this morning that the government might lend them another $35 Billions.
This is sick.

As I have been telling people for the last few months, we're ****ed no matter what happens with the election. Politicians are politicians are politicians. The President won't change that. And since nobody in an office really knows what to do, they just throw money at the problem. Which doesn't exactly help.
Is there any way to fire everyone in gov't and hire people smarter, and more talented for the jobs? That's the rub there, they will get paid for the rest of their life, so it doesn't matter what happens to the world for them. They don't care about the common citizen and what we want, and that's why AIG will get it's $35 billion. And in a few months after a few more parties, maybe another bailout. Huzzah. 
As you can clearly see, I'm an optimist. Nothing but happy faces and warm fuzzy feeling over here.

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.

Ya know as much as it will pizz me off. 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?
