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
I double dog ya!

"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".
Once again, we are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I AT THE END OF MY GRIEVING
It's been tough, the grieving, but I have come to the end of the process with the conclusion that "it will not happen in my lifetime".
First there was denial, it just is not happening. I was young, real young.
Next came anger, it's not fair, it is just not fair, stop, stop, stop.
Along came bargaining, I will support your cause, please support mine.
Depression hit in a wave, down, down, down. CRASH! BOTTOM!
And now, acceptance.
When Don Imus was castrated for referring to girls on a college basketball team as "nappy headed hoes", I was encouraged. People came out and insisted he be fired. Respect was demanded from him.
Now I realize that they were not upset about the "whores" comment, it was the "nappy headed" comment.
If Alex Castellano, of CNN, had called Barack Obama a nigger, the streets would have filled with protesters and Mr Castellano would have been fired. When Castellano called Hillary Clinton a "bitch"on cable network, CNN,, he was not fired, he did not have to apologize, he is still on CNN.
When Cafferty, again of CNN, read the most vile emails regarding Hillary Clinton, he just laughed and Blitzer just laughed. They would not read ANYTHING BAD about Obama.
If Randy Roads (not correct spelling I know) called Michelle Obama a whore, we all would laugh. Just don't call her "nappy headed".
Double standard? You bet your sweet ass there is.
Yes, we have made great strides.
In 1964 my sister separated from her abusive husband. He was not happy. He broke into our home when he knew all were gone except my sister. He held a 22 rifle to their baby's head and raped my sister. After he left my sister called the police. He was not arrested, in those days husbands could not be prosecuted for rape, after all, it was a wifely duty. Today, he would be arrested, so progress? yes. Enough? Hell fire NO!
But I have come, kicking and screaming, crying and fighting to the conclustion, women will NEVER get the respect they so rightfully deserve in my lifetime.
Women have no one to blame but themselves. They have not only allowed the abuse to continue, but they have been the abusers as well. The National Organization of Women is not fighting for the rights of women, they only fight for abortion, not choice. They have become a wing of the Democratic Party. Where have all the feminists gone?
Yes, the Lilly Ledbetter bill was passed and signed by President Obama, but did women protest the company that jipped Lilly out of her equal pay? Did women boycott Firestone to teach them a lesson? Where was NOW? Where have all the feminists gone?
But will women get respect or equal pay?
Not in my lifetime.
