- DigitAl56K, on 11/10/2008, -1/+126Simple math shows every american has now contributed about $492 to AIG, or about $1097 if you're only counting taxpayers.
- intro211, on 11/10/2008, -6/+84- WTF FED ?? you cant do that !!!
- YES WE CAN - GRANDPAMUNSTER, on 06/11/2009, -0/+72How many more billions until the economy starts getting better?
- S5S5S5, on 11/11/2008, -0/+60This is nothing. Freddie-Fannie still need more money, GM-Ford are getting their bailout bill ready. Everyday the hole keeps getting deeper.
- nickespinosa, on 11/10/2008, -2/+60Trick question, our economy is not sustainable.
- elliotys, on 11/11/2008, -0/+51Does anyone else's ***** hurt?
- sp89, on 11/11/2008, -0/+49Yay for AIG. Have fun on those yachts *****.
- grantface, on 11/11/2008, -0/+48***** stop with the bailouts already!
- inactive, on 11/10/2008, -0/+44Ei, someone needs to pay for their weekend retreats!
- geddon, on 11/11/2008, -2/+40It takes an idiot to blame this on a single party.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans did this to us. - padraic2112, on 11/11/2008, -0/+35Someone has to pay for their parties. I hear they've got Bono to play at the next super-secret please don't let *this* one get out gig.
- ninjaturtles1, on 11/11/2008, -0/+32I used to play Monopoly with my sister (before I was able to read properly). I would normally beat her, but she would start taking money out of the bank once she ran out, she called it emergency money, she said it was in the rules knowing I could not read them. This reminds me of that!
- nickespinosa, on 11/10/2008, -0/+32Smash the state
- elliotys, on 11/11/2008, -1/+31A great point. It's depressing to see your government reward poorly ran company's with your money.
- geddon, on 11/11/2008, -2/+31Meanwhile, Communism bails out its people.
http://digg.com/world_news/China_Unveils_586_Billi ... - inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+27If the government can do this how about they get me a new laptop?
- samard2002, on 11/11/2008, -0/+27Going? Where's it coming from?
- CedEx, on 11/10/2008, -0/+25Goldman Sachs says $1.4 Trillion will be lost eventually... and we're only at the $800 Billion mark right now.
- NotYourProdigy, on 11/11/2008, -1/+26Um. I think we should set some limits. Its like letting a 5 year old have as many oreos as they want.
- FearFactory, on 11/11/2008, -0/+25NO MORE BAILOUTS
- BJF9999, on 11/11/2008, -0/+24American Express just became a bank holding company tonight too, meaning that they now have access to that sweet sweet taxpayer cash also. This is not good.
- BannedEagle, on 11/11/2008, -0/+23but he did vote for it
- ferrell, on 11/11/2008, -1/+24And just yesterday, AIG was yet again caught spending $343,000 of OUR TAX DOLLARS for a retreat at a swanky Phoenix resort!
http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/WallStreet/story ... - MarthaDunnstock, on 11/11/2008, -0/+22My God where is all this money going?
- deadlyrice, on 11/10/2008, -0/+21Are we going to keep feeding AIG money until we get out of this thing?
- JonForTheWin, on 11/11/2008, -5/+24THIS IS A DEBASEMENT OF THE CURRENCY, THE GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER LEGITIMATE - IF THERE IS NO WITHHOLDING OF TAXES WITH THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE THERE TRULY IS NO LONGER AN AMERICA NOR AN AMERICAN PEOPLE
/mention of situation that merits caps lock - Ghostalker, on 11/11/2008, -7/+26FYI, Democrats don't take power til January. This is all the current administration giving a handout to big business.
- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -1/+19$70B is going to pay bonuses: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/oct/17/exe ...
Goldman Sachs in specific is giving $14B in bonuses after receiving $12B in bailouts:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article- ... - michelsonmorley, on 11/11/2008, -0/+17Isn't this like Ron Paul was right, #5192 ?
- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+17Bad Credit? No Credit? No Problem!
^^
I think we needed a billion Less of those. - TVowell, on 11/11/2008, -2/+19AIG - American Idiot Group
- mmilton, on 11/11/2008, -1/+18Don't bailout GM/Chrysler. Don't listen to GE's request for a bailout.
- Tom10803, on 11/11/2008, -0/+16This is like when I would play a game with my sister when we were young but as the game went along if i was winning she would change the rules.
- miggyb, on 11/11/2008, -3/+19It reminds me more of the game where my father held me down and raped me until I was too hoarse to scream.
Haha, AIG. You guys are awesome. - iloveobama, on 11/11/2008, -1/+16Inflation is awesome!!! Soon it's going to cost $1,000 to buy a candy bar
- clickx, on 11/11/2008, -0/+15I thought one of the main aspects of capitalism was to promote competition. If the government willingly without consent of the people gives money to a company how is that considered a free market under capitalism. Socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for the poor.
- jtpinhead, on 11/11/2008, -0/+14quick! throw money at it!
- Qinella, on 11/11/2008, -1/+13More realistically, that's about $150 per Chinese person.
- dafragsta, on 11/11/2008, -0/+12Don't you mean it'll cost $100 Grand to get a $100 Grand?
- BossKey, on 11/11/2008, -1/+12EPIC FAIL
- lovefarran, on 11/11/2008, -0/+11Ron Paul is always right, but no one listens. It's sad really.
- zenithmbr, on 11/11/2008, -0/+11yes, yes we are. except we never will get out of this thing so it will be indefinite.
- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -4/+14I hate the Fed and our illegitimate government. Stuck between a fascist and a goddamn socialist. Where do we turn?
- rand0mm0nkey, on 11/11/2008, -0/+10What the *****? I just closed my business. My business model failed. They do that. I don't expect a dime for my mistakes, and neither should they. They shouldn't get *****. Nor should Chrysler, GM, Ford, GE, and any other ***** lining up for a handout from the people that didn't want their crappy products in the first place. Toyota didn't ***** up reading what their customer base was going to want. And if they did, they'd CHANGE THIER MODEL! Stop bailing them out! ***** THAT!!! Why am I paying for this *****?
- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+10you know, taking into account how fundamental and rudimentary that statement is, this is exactly whats happening to the greatest country in the world. :(
- dafragsta, on 11/11/2008, -0/+9That's just ***** disgusting.
- MaximusIGN, on 11/11/2008, -1/+10And Chuck Norris says Obama is the socialist.....
- Y0tsuya, on 11/11/2008, -0/+9Good luck with that.
- cnot3, on 11/11/2008, -2/+11Technically, the democratically controlled congress is giving a handout to big business. But is there really any difference, these days?
- GoKings, on 11/11/2008, -0/+9It's no wonder that AIG hasn't come back in shape. These bailouts beget inefficiency, and it's one of the reason ISI doesn't work in third world countries. It's the reason that as they are bankrupt they go spend hundreds of thousands of dollars at a spa getting pedicures. Then they fleece my pocket even more for these *****? Wow...
