Bailout fund top up for US insurance giant AIG - 02 Mar 09

AlJazeeraEnglish asked:


AIG’s balance sheet for the final three months of last year showed a loss of $62 billion for the US insurance giant. That figure is despite the corporation already receiving a total of $150 billion in taxpayer money. Now it has been given access to another $30 billion with government officials admitting it may not be the last time the government has to step in. John Terrett reports.

    Looks like we’re going to WAR again.

    Monster posted 1000 Navy jobs for; Dr’s, Dentist’s, Nurses and Officers on 3/13. Army posted 1000 jobs on Careerbuider today.

    Guess more America children and parents are going to die for Corp America big bonus exec’s. Any AIG kids in the war?

    Like our Gov didn’t know until the last minute the bonuses would be paid.

    If the exec’s were fired a year ago for the bad job - NO bonuses !

    Like Dem’s made a call at the last minute to try and stop it. Ya right.

    AIG is crap health insurance. a thousand bucks a month, HUGE deductible, 80/20 policy, won’t cover babies or baby making. When you do make a claim you have to fight for every cent. Total ripoff I say let them fail & the Federal government will do a better job of directly insuring people.

    Throw more money at these dead firms so their executives can pocket them. Last year one trillion USD went missing, now another trillion is being thrown away. The US are doing a great job at bankrupting themselves, the only problem is they’re not doing it fast enough.

    Die USA
    Die UK

    Good riddance to two of the most useless tin pot dictatorships in history.

    not necessarly, we’d be better off saying its customers killing off the company and then with the money we used on the customers they’ll be able to survive long enough to make deals with other companies.

    dear swordofjustice i am not a muslim nor a christian but i can tell you christians as whole are much worse as muslims in general which is easily proven trough numerous (alot of) evidence or examples. and for example if we call a muslim who sacrifice for a homeland a terrorist how do we call an american soldier that sacrifice himself for his country?
    but in general muslims will usually not attack if they aren’t atacked first. and do not forget nontheless where you live you use some Quaran laws

    Are these the same people who threw expensive parties for their clients with the original bailout money? Also all you retards who are praying for the fall of America, keep dreaming because we’ve been through much worse and we survived, and even if some other country (China) becomes the top dog it’s not going to change anything for you. For example China’s demand for oil is growing so once they get strong enough they will have the same policy toward the middle east as we did. It’s human nature.

    What are you an idiot or a retard?
    Allah didn’t give any thing to anyone. Islam is a nightmare in progress and all muslims are players in the drama of **** and murder.
    We want no part of islam or muslims thank you very much.

    The Constitution of Free men Gave US power from God but they strayed .
    Allah truly is great .

    Allah treat all men as equal ,on a level playing field,without prejudice,with respect and shared admiration,No Master No servant.
    The is only 1 God .

    Liberal Islam + Constitutional rights for everyone =
    The WORD

    “Too Big To Fail” = “Too Big In The First Place”

    Allowing the massive takeover festival that has been the hallmark of American financial markets since 1982 will bring economic chaos till 2082 to the world.
