American International Group, Inc. (AIG)

Its being given a lottery without having to buy a ticket.
These bailouts were little more than an excuse of a Bush reward for all the crooks who looted all they could, a trillion is not to small a figure, and Bush/Cheney/ Greenspan/Paulson/Cox and the Congress in turn gets rewarded for having rewarded them with their free market. 10,000 hedgies operate offshore in the Caymans, GS being one, and over 600 in the US, and these guys control half of the US market, and half of the London exchange, and it doesn't stop there. Many have their networks are in the US but operate offshore "outside" US jurisdiction. Its very lucrative, and corrupted, and the rules for it all have been layed out by those who tell us they are honorable. Its all fixed, and its to protect them from the very system that works for the most part against the rest of us, and always has, and I guess always will as long as there are career politicians who are in the service lobbyist, and the lot. IMO both parties need to be tossed out on their ears.
