If the economy recovers, your mutual funds will be buying very low. If it doesn't recover, well.... we're screwed anyhow. |

This on the heals of the news that last week a bunch of their exec's spent a week at a CA luxury resort.
So ladies and gentlemen, do you feel like we rescued main street now? Maybe that $440,000 will trickle down to the peons that are paying the bills right? After Bailout, AIG Execs Head to California Resort Rescued by Taxpayers, $440,000 for Retreat Including "Pedicures, Manicures" By BRIAN ROSS and TOM SHINE October 7, 2008 Less than a week after the federal government committed $85 billion to bail out AIG, executives of the giant AIG insurance company headed for a week-long retreat at a luxury resort and spa, the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California, Congressional investigators revealed today. Not all of the $85 billion that went to AIG was used to save the company. "Rooms at this resort can cost over $1,000 a night," Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) said this morning as his committee continued its investigation of Wall Street and its CEOs. AIG documents obtained by Waxman's investigators show the company paid more than $440,000 for the retreat, including nearly $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 in spa charges. "They're getting their pedicures and their manicures and the American people are paying for that," said Cong. Elijah Cummings (D-MD). "This unbridled greed," said Cong. Mark Souder (R-IN), "it's an insensitivity to how people are spending our dollars." Appearing before the committee, Martin Sullivan, the AIG CEO until June, said the company was overwhelmed by a "financial global tsunami," and that "no simple or single cause" was to blame. |
