AIG should not have been bailed out

[Arabian]

Its a travesty to bail out AIG to the tune of 85 billion. The shareholders have seen the profits of good times in the past and reaped profits. Why should the american public be responible for bailing out the the bad decisions of there executives.

AIG going under would have knocked the entire world into a Depression that would have made the 30s look like a cake walk.

And not only do Bush's friends own a lot of shares in it, but you, I, and 95% of those who invest all around the world do, too.

If they hadn't about 100 million 401k accounts would have tanked.

AIG going under would not have done anything more than our government overspending the 08 budget by 387 billion dollars? So NO AIG would not have affected anything real world,,

I still think we should have a hands off attitude, but with responsibility amongst white collar employees. If there is fraudulent accounting going on, these CEO's and CFO's need to be punished

Bro, AIG isnt just an insurance company.

Its one of the largest companies on the planet that has a hand in almost all lines of business.
