AIG Again!
AIG is in the news again. More money and they are giving it away. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, AIG is giving huge bonuses (or retention payments) to corporate executives and it's on our tab. And, the government knew about it before it happened and they say there is nothing they could have done to prevent it. Well, wise up Americans, there is something that the government and we can do about it. PULL THE PLUG. They know that they can keep getting away with it and they also know that the government will keep giving them billions because they government feels that they can't be allowed to fail. Let these guys file for bankruptcy, there are chapters of bankruptcy that will accommodate only the bad branches of AIG and will allow the other departments to continue. If you don't want to do that, then believe me there are thousands of good, honest bankers out of work that can take over these positions and make a success of AIG. American citizens are getting sick and tired of bailing out AIG just to have them throw the billions out the window and come crying for more. AIG is suppose to belong 80% to the American taxpayer, but were any of you taxpayers out there consulted on this decision? NO! Our wonderful new Secretary of the Treasury knew about this latest round of bonuses and approved them. But, did he inform us, NO. This has got to stop. If our government won't stop it, well then maybe we should take matters into our own hands. This is not the time to be passive, speak out, call or write your senators and representatives and let them know that you have had enough.
