I agree with much of what you say, but I must point out that it was Pres. Bush who gave AIG most of their money...I don’t think it’s about parties the banking industry owns our government it would seem. Neither party is willing to stand up to them and certain policies which the banking industry lobbied for are very bad for average Americans. I don’t know what the answer is...but something must change.
I understand that much of this happened in the waning days of Bush’s watch. But you know Obama and the ‘Rats were right there with their hands out when AIG was greasing the palms of the various political critters. That’s why I find this fax “outrage†at AIG and the others so ingenuous. It isn’t like the ‘Rats are as pure as the driven snow on this stuff. When it comes to free money, the last ones to lecture anyone else with any “outrage” are the politicians in Washington.
