Looks like all $85 billion is worth these days is a one day roller coaster ride on the stock market and 150 point gain. Only to be lost the next day when the money actually hits the greedy hands of the corporate stooge. I was watching Foxnews yesterday morning when the comment was made by one of the Federal money men that AIG needed the bail out because there were 160,000 employees. WOW! I'm pretty sure there are a lot more than 160,000 people in South Texas and Louisiana, who, after Gustav and Ike would like a little Federal money to put their house back on that concrete slab. In trying times, most people began to sell off what they don't need. Why don't we let AIG have those trailers? They can keep whatever profit they make from them!
