Don't you feel satisfied knowing that our tax dollars allowed these bankers and insurers to continue their jobs and not have to worry about the bottom line ?

Wow, AIG paid 23K to get infront of financial planners who sell 250 million worth of their prodcuts. What a horrible thing! Stop all marketing meetings, training sessions,etc. Lets have Congress media whores like Cummings and NY Attorney Cuomo get their face on TV for they are for the "working American."

Let's not forget that Elliot Spitzer is the real culprit behind AIG. His ego driven journey let to the removal of Greenburg, who actually knew how to run the damn company. His latter replacements were jokes who led AIG into the mess they are in. Again here very little about Sullivan & Williamstead, but a lot about financial planners who are not even employed by AIG.

Oh yes and for justice, Elliot Spitzer not spending a day in jail after prosecuting those who did his act.

Heck, let's start a thread about our new elected President(who I voted for and like) for dining out at Spaggo's in Chicago recently. Average Tab for a Table of 4, about $600 and one of the Top 3 most expensive restaraunts in Chicago. Times are tough, what is he thinking? Outrageous

Come on, lets keep cherry picking everything!!!

Hey..there's more than a few AIG junkets there. Look at the slides.

You are talking about the latest AIG trip which cost them a few hundred thousand. They "said" they got reimbursed.
