"How many shares of AIG does each citizen get?"
Posted by daveqwerty

Apparently twice as many as the company is worth.

Some serious thievery going on here.

It has been 30 years since the "Reagan Regressives" made promises, which to date have never been delivered, and still some neocon-derthals cannot see it.

so paguy ... i just stated that there has never been a candidate that will do all that they promise ... and you just seconded that.

so ... what''s your problem? how could i still believe it when i never believed it?

is your issue cognitive ... or is it linguistic ... or maybe it''s a dyslexic thing?

no, no ... i got it ... it''s an idealogical thing ... with you being blinded by yours.

No they lost and we know why!

Excuse me... Where have you been the last 8 years? This economic disaster has been completely brought on by the GOP and republican policies over the last 8 years. 6 of which were completely republican controlled - house senate executive branch. When Bush stole office and Clinton''s term was over Clinton left a balance budget and the govt was running in the red. The state of our union was strong. Next lie pal!

"The size of the AIG lifeline swelled to more than $150 billion"

Strange, the first $85B was supposed to give the US government a 70% stake in the company, now we almost double the stake.

How can we own almost 200% of a company, you might ask?

The answer is, of course, we cannot.

Someone is simply stealing money. I wonder how much Bush, paulson, and Bernanke are ketting under the table, 10% maybe?

noooo ... say it aint so!

what presidential candidate has ever done all that they have promised during the campaign?

[gop_will_win]

No way, no how. The market news would not have allowed anything but a downturn. These are profit reports coming in from companies, not election results. If you want to know what''''s really driving the markets, go to bloomberg.com and read the articles. Not one has anything to do with Obama. Grow a brain, willya?

I disagree. Employers are fearful of an Obama presidency and are laying off workers in droves because of it.

systems6- You''re right on. They''re saying as soon as February, possibly to next summer before government financial collapse.

[lochlan-2009]

ghostfighter- You need to do more research. Start with Lehman Brothers for the credit freeze. First you should do some research into the Bush family history though, and finish with Jeb Bush and cousin George Walker getting on the board of this bank a year and change before it''s collpase and denied bailout. They are following an agenda they''ve had in the works for atleast a decade now. Deregulate, implement scam for banks to carry out pushing loans, stand by for several years while money is moved out of the sheeples banks, collapse the markets, crash the economy, bailout (give free money to corporate elite) with sheeples tax dollars, and insert international monetary regulations for the oligarchy. "New World Order" George Bush Sr. talked about in 1992, "mission accomplished".

[The Fed stepped in with an $85 billion loan in September because the company is so big - linked to mutual funds and retirement products held by millions of Americans, not to mention ties to U.S. mortgages - that its failure would have devastated the economy. ]

i assume that the federal regulators are now looking at this company as a candidate for an anti-trust suit. if it''s too big to let fail ... then break it up so this is not an issue.
