IF IT'S TOO BIG TO FAIL, IT'S TOO BIG!

If AIG is too big to fail and the burden to bail them out falls on the taxpayers, then it is just too big to exist.  Free enterprise should be just that, free from government interference and free from government welfare.

It is, in my humble opinion, time to take over AIG, fire the beasts giving out bonuses. break it up and sell it off.  We already own 80%, why not just take it all?

We need to make sure no corporation affecting our economy ever grows too big to fail.

Bigger is not better, it is just bigger.

Call AIG and let them know how you feel.  1-877-638-4244  or contact them by e-form https://securecontent.aig.com/contact-aig_20_19050.html

"turn the raw peanuts on the floor into money."

Stewart Parnell, owner of Peanut Corp. of America ought to be horse whipped for urging his workers to ship bacteria-tainted products.  The outbreak has sickened some 600 people, may be linked to nine deaths, the latest reported in Ohio on Wednesday.

Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Obama Speaketh With Forked Tongue

President Obama came out and blasted the big wigs on Wall Street for having the audacity to pay themselves big overdone bonuses.

"The American people understand we've got a big hole that we've got to dig ourselves out of, but they don't like the idea that people are digging a bigger hole even as they're being asked to fill it up," he said.
"There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses. Now is not that time," Obama added.

Then he winked and nodded.  (He smiled, friends, I'm just talking out my ass, business as usual, boys!)

The limits would not apply retroactively to any bank that received money from the first half of the $700 bailout allocated by Congress. For example, the restriction would not apply to such firms as American International Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., and Citigroup Inc., that already have received such help.

If the Wall Street boys don't do as the President sugested, there are no consequences, no penalties, they can come back and get billions more without having to worry.  But what about my neighbor who lost her job?

Move along folks. 
Nothing to see here.
It's another "dog and pony show".
