Well, gee whiz. TurboTax Time sure is treating the bailout of this company as if it was an entire industry, as well as the apologists who back its bailout. "Systemic failure" by allowing it to fail? Bueller?
Why not just post that you have no understanding of the AIG situation and its implications at all? What would you see as the aftermath of an AIG failure? Keep in mind that the insurance side of AIG is rock solid and a big-time moneymaker, but that the financial products side has tentacles that reach into virtually every major financial player in the world. So, go ahead...paint your vision of a post-AIG financial landscape for us...
I don't really think he's interested in nationalizing anything, but if he's looking for suggestions, I'd say go after the right-wing disinformation media. The whole nine yards of it -- NewsMax, WorldNetDaily, everybody at townhall.com, the WSJ, the Washington Times, FOX News, the Heritage Foundation, AEI, etc., etc., etc. Think how refreshing political discourse would be if people only had access to responsible, honest information about things rather than the pap and partisan propaganda that those folks put out...
This is the biggest pile of Pelosi I can remember reading. All these years we have had freedom of speech and you suggest that only lefties should be allowed to keep it. Now before you get carried away go back and read your suggestion and tell me that you aren't talking about taking that freedom from those who don't think like you do.
AIG is 80% owned by the government, but that's a company, not an industry. Plus, AIG took the money willingly; no one forced the issuance of stock to the government.
It's amazing what some people come up with. Next thread: "When Will Obama Tax the Air We Breath?"
No, No, No not the air we breathe but the air we expel after we use that oxygen. I guess his EPA director hasn't tried to tax the air that cattle breathe but she surely is in favor of taxing what they expel out of their nether region because it has so much methane in it. If this rule is ever put into effect the government has weaseled into control of the production of cattle for either dairy or meat purposes. I don't know one feedlot that can afford to pay that tax so they will all have to give their businesses to the government or we wil become vegans, all.

It's just childish banter to get a rise out of people. The dude works in government with the beltway boyz for God's sake. The same government he's mentioned that only gets the brightest and most educated, LOL
Actually, I don't recall making any personal attacks or deflecting on my most recent reply, yet I still never received an answer?
Hmm....
NO INDUSTRY HAS YET BEEN NATIONALIZED so, asking which industry will be nationalized next is a lie. Plain and simple. There's your answer. The OP is a lie.

I was actually referring to the misinformation on "legacy" assets as well as 80% stake in a company to avoid the term "nationalization".
AIG, TARP, the auto bailout were all Pre-Obama! It wa Dubya who signed off on all of this. What has he nationalized?
