    Okay, that's it. I was fine with the first loan because I thought it was needed and maybe they'd spend that money responsibly. That is clearly not the case. I'm willing to let them fall now. And Phil Gramm must fall with them.

    I'm disappointed in the managers. Clearly, the only lesson they learned was to cover their tracks. And so now we must dedicate ourselves to the only sensible question . . . the money trail goes where . . . ?

    Looks like cancelling those outings & junkets didn't help at all.

    gop politics 101, privatize the profits, socialize the losses, and who would have thunk the cons are the lefties after all, at least when its convenient and profitable.

    Can't they take over part ownership of AIG like they're doing with the banks?

    That makes more sense for tax payers.

    Isn't AIG the group that had the lavish parties... after the bailout?

    AIG still in trouble.....must borrow more to indemnify their dividend and provide extra bonuses to all those brokers and managers.

    Ya know...you have to pay them to keep them, otherwise they'll hop ship to your competition.....

    (as if I'd hire any of these bozos, seeing what they did to their present company....)
