Thank you for taking the time to read this through.
As many here have pointed out, so much is happening so very fast you can’t keep your eye on the ball under the cup.
As conservatives in America we need to check our emotions at the door and honor our core principals. A contract is a contract. Congress issued a piece of legislation honoring those contracts. Like it or not our word has to mean something. Making sure it doesn’t happen going forward, absolutely. Making these people out to be criminals? Not so much.
honor a contract????, how about the Constituion, and the Bill of Rights. That trumps any other contract. if the two afore mentioned “contracts” had been adhered to by congress, and the so called president, AIG would have gone bakrupt, and we all know what happends to contracts at a bankrupt company, they become voided.
that is legally what should have happened, that would have legally voided these so called contracts.
but know the politicnas, greased with bribes from AIG, broke the contract they have with all Americans, broke the Oath they swore when they took office.
the right thing to do is to try to take back all the bailout money we can, (as it was illegal use of tax money, the breaking of our contract with government) and let AIG go bankrupt. let lawsuits proceed aginst the AIG bosses by any investors that were lied to, and let AIG bosses AND politicans go to jail for bribbery, and finally tar and feathers for the crooked politicans.
