The money is NOT GOING TO AIG. AIG then gets that money and gives it to the International Banks it insured with Credit Defaul Swaps. Tell your listeners that. And tell them about the TRILLIONS of dollars the Federal Reserve has dished out WITH NO CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br> <br> You're right about the contracts issue. If the govt. didn't want bonuses being paid they should have made that part of the deal before giving them the money. The issue is not the bonuses however. It is the entire bailout. We've committed $170 billion to 1 single company! Almost 25% of the stimulus package created for the entire country to 1 insurance company! They are then giving the money straight to the banks Neal! The money is not being used to expand operations and cover overhead. It's being siphoned straight to the BANKERS THEY INSURED!!! WAKE UP NEAL!!! The money is GONE. How can 1 company make $170 billion in profit that it has to pay back? Has AIG even made $170 Billion in PROFIT in its entire history?
