		<description>Hey, I&#039;ve got something you may want to look into about Amazon. I was recently banned as a seller (not buyer) for something that was completely unclear in their rules. It has to do with means of shipping believe it or not... Email me or comment my blog for more details.</description>

		<description>Here is my opinion, all the way from Denmark:

Where to get 85 billion, well your monetary system gives no other solution than to lend that money from the federal bank...with interest.

Who control the interest...the federal bank.
Who will stop the fed from sending the interest sky rocketing as soon as these money are put into circulation?

What happens when the banks needs to raise the interests because the fed does, well americans starts loosing their houses and companies to the banks who lend them the money...Does the banks own your houses, no they owe the money to the fed. So in effect they own your houses....and collect interests from the bank, meaning your &quot;money in the bank&quot; is worth nothing.

Show me one crisis in America that didn&#039;t start this way and I&#039;ll start wearing a tinfoil hat!

The only thing more expensive than this is war...but you have a few of those going on too, so you&#039;ll be alright.

When the shit really hits the fan, I bet the fed will step in with a nice plan to save you all, this will of course rob you of every last possession you have..... I will event bet it will be before McCain gets the office ;) and your current federal bank buddy leaves to enjoy his retirement.

Good luck, you have been playing this game for a 100 years now.</description>

		<description>The problem is in our monetary system and having a central bank like the Federal Reserve, which is about as &quot;Federal&quot; as Federal Express.

If the Fed keeps printing money that essentially is backed by nothing, inflation will skyrocket and our US Dollar will be as valuable as a Mexican Peso.

So to answer your question, I would say &quot;fuck it&quot;, let AIG crumble and teach everyone a lesson. Our monetary system is flawed and these Fed bailouts will cause our market to crumble soon regardless.

Maybe a slap in the face may spark some serious reform. The sad part about it is that neither MCCain or Obama are addressing the real problem with the economy.

The only member of Congress that is addressing this issue is Ron Paul. Check him out he just commented on the AIG bailout.

		<description>Bluescreenmarketing, I would agree with you if AIG were just another business, but it is a huge financial institution that holds a vast percentage of people&#039;s insurance policies as well as, I believe, their pensions.
We might think we &quot;could care less about&quot; AIG, but in reality you and people in your life probably depend on them a lot more than you know.</description>

		<description>To be honest, I&#039;m not really sure how such a problem can be solved.  While I agree that Uncle Sam can&#039;t be bailing out every failed business, I can&#039;t justify allowing AIG customers to suffer b/c of the stooges making the bulk of the decisions.

Wonder what the chances are of having AIG&#039;s management team forfeit all pay for the last 1 to 5 years years would be?  Surrender all salary, bonuses, and stock related profits made from the date of the bailout... would that change the boardroom antics?</description>

		<description>Since when did business failure deserve a reward? Let the consequences happen as they may to these big businesses.  Give the American investors pause for more prudence in their investment decision making.

Why is it that our nation’s leaders are allocating our tax dollars to a non-governmental entity to bailout a company most of us could care less about? Since when does failure to operate a business properly merit the pity and hard-earned dollars of American citizens?   I know of hundreds of business owners who have made mistakes in running their business; and not only does no one come to their aid one iota, but because they are self-employed business owners, even in a crisis they are unable to get access to simple financial benefits such as food stamps or Medicaid (that even illegal immigrants can get) when necessary!</description>
