"AIG will be penalized and forced to pay this amount back to the US taxpayers"

We own 80% of AIG, so are we penalizing and paying ourselves back?

All the rats in Congress, both sides, were scrambling around yesterday blaming current and past administration for the problem. Who knew what and when did they know it?

Sen. Grassley said those receiving a bonus should kill themselves. What an idiot!! Sen. Grassley, please aske Sen. Dodd and Sen. Frank to fall on their swords as well, since most of the blame goes to them and their committees.

Harry "The Body" Reid and Chuck "Don't Get Between Me &That Camera" Schumer, screamed that they would force those receiving bonuses to give them back.

Two, of many, problems with that. 1) Employment Contracts. It would cost us more then the bonuses are worth to lose that court battle. 2) You can't tax the bonuses at 91% or higher, since that is unconstitutional: Bill of Attainment, plan ex facto.

This what you get when you trust the Government to run private business. They can't even run the Government.
