    I thought I did answer you….recession vs global depression…I give up lets all let everything fail…the market will work it out….the idiots prevail

    Wow. I can’t believe how simple that is! How could I have been so blind? Let’s mortgage our future (inflation, tax burdens, loss of freedoms for example) and all we get is a minor recession. Then everybody back in the pool and resume the fantasy that the financial wepons of mass destruction actually have value. Thanks for an articulate lesson in why 85, er 120, er 150 BILLION of our money was the right answer.

    I have never seen so many lazy people wasteing time, chating at work. You should all be fired, I bet you all hope your boss does not figure you out. Get back to work!

    Can someone tell me how much AIG’s execs are contributing to this effort to save AIG? How many millions in compensation did they take prior to this crisis?

    I am tired of hearing the word bailout….we have a renegotiated “guido” loan…we are paying handsomely for the money…you idiots have no idea of the ramifications if AIG failed…but it does show the power of the press and the relative ignorance of the public….eventually you will see the money was a good investment for the gov’t…when a company gets a loan does that preclude them eating and drinking and trying to preserve our deteriorating market share? We got a loan just like a mortgage…does the mortgage holder stop you from playing golf or going to a conference…no its a loan get a clue!
