| HOlyBoobies I guess there is a big old mess about AIG taking the bailout money and then utilizing it to pay off bonus to it's executives. "The federal government now owns 80 percent of AIG and has contributed $170 billion to shore up the company, whose reckless selling of credit default swaps (insurance policies on the toxic housing assets held by banks, which AIG couldn’t pay out) sparked its demise." Wow.... I understood two words, 80 percent, 80 percent of what I have no idea. This is what you get when you try to move away from "King" magazine to something with white words, numbers, and other useless info. | |
