Are You Freaking Kidding Me?


UPDATE:  $85 Billion Dollars Wasn't Enough?  The Fed agrees to loan AIG an additional $37.8 billion dollars on top of the $85 billion it loaned the insurance giant just a few weeks ago, and only days after the $440,000 8-day spa and retreat.  Our government at work.  Read it here.



In case you missed the reference to it during tonight's debate and you haven't yet seen the story, here is the link to the AIG $440,000 employee retreat story that took place after the government promised the failing company an $85 billion dollar bailout because of horrible management.  I can't even blog about it because I am so upset that this actually happened, and I am not sure I can restrain from using some very choice language.  Therefore, read the article if you haven't already so you can yell out all the expletives I am trying not to type here.

How could this possibly happen?  And exactly what kind of person/people would do this to the American taxpayer after we just got stuck with an $85 billion dollar bail-out plan so they could all keep their jobs (their very well-paying jobs, apparently)?  I am beyond simply wanting answers at this point...I WANT JUSTICE!  I want whoever went ahead with this incredibly stupid and insensitive 8 day pandering at the taxpayers' expense to spend the rest of their lives in prison.  

This is just beyond insulting, it is exactly the kind of greed and lack of consideration of others that put us in the mess we are now in.  How did it happen?

What are your thoughts?  Would would you like to see happen to those responsible, and how can we make sure it doesn't happen with any of the other companies we bailed out?
