I think that the whole thing is bullshit from start to finish - and if you read the headlines this morning, the rating entities are not going to penalize AIG by lowering the rating - they will lower some of the subsidiaries ratings but not the mother company... it just seems to get worse day by day...

Individuals are losing their homes at an alarming rate and I don't see any government officials coming to my house to help me with my mortgage. My sister just announced this week that she's going into foreclosure and despite the fact that the government is helping the major players in the mortgage industry, the banks won't re-negotiate loans to be more affordable for people in these tough economic times. It really and truly sucks. I do do quite a bit with just .01 percent of that AIG deal, for real!

This is utterly ridiculous. Why should we, the tax payers, bail out PRIVATE companies that are irresponsible? If a small business owner is irresponsible and his/her business fails, there is no one there to bail them out. In addition, there should be absolutely NO golden parachutes or payouts for these executives/directors who have failed in their capacity. It's a slap in the face plus a kick in the nuts when we have to pay for their mistakes while they are walking away with multiple million dollar severance packages. I agree.
