AIG Rip OFF!!

It is sad what is happening to our country. I just read that today is the day that AIG is paying their top execs over $112,000 each as a bonus!! Considering the trouble that our country is already in, is this fair? And to think of all the taxpayer money that has been used to revive this company really leaves a sour taste in one's mouth. There is truly no shame in their games that they are playing.

Think about all of the unemployed and laid off people, people losing their homes, the homeless and poor, the list just goes on. There is definitely some wrong with this picture if the U.S. is to be a superpower. Are we really ? Our education system is falling apart and we rank near the bottom of the top twenty nations in science and math. This is just another embarassment for our nation. What is the rest of the world thinking of us now?

This is $165 million dollar in bonuses that they are paying out of the $170 billion dollars that AIG received from the government. What is going on people? Someone explained this to me. It just does not make any sense, especially after AIG lost over $61.7 billion dollars!! And guess what, this calamity of events all happened during the Bush Administration. He should be ashamed of himself. No, he is comfortably living in Texas as a multimillionaire !!
