AIG has already been given about 85 billion dollars in bailout money by the federal government. Today they announced that they need another 37 point something billion more.

Am I the only one who feels that any cent of that money not spent on actual bailouts is little more than theft? We already know that a lot of federal money handed out earlier last month was used for CEOs to take vacations and visit spas. Every time I hear about that I just wish somebody could walk in and demand our money back.

I feel extremely uneasy because I just wonder how much of this almost 850 billion dollars total in bailout money will end up in the hands of a five-star restaurant next to a world class executive retreat. I continue to oppose the idea of the bailout saving our economy. It might help, but it won't be the cure.

was this before or after it came out that AIG spent a few hundred thousand dollars of the bailout money sending their execsto a spa?

There is the link to what I was mentioning.
This just happened today, so it would be after.

It's hard work robbing us! They clearly deserved a break to relax and recharge, so they can provide you the taxpayer with the kind of high-quality shameless theft you've come to expect.
