I don’t think we should go further into debt to bail out any company or person, and I agree that any money given should have had some strings attached.
I’m very concerned, however, that everyone’s anger will lead to the federal government taking over insurance regulation without full consideration of that issue. Remember, although AIG has an insurance division, only financial holdings division was in trouble. I don’t want anyone to sneak in federal insurance regulation under the guise of regulating financial matters.

Not only are these big companies getting bailed out, they are getting it with no strings attached!

I am a small business owner and have felt my fair share of this downward economic spiral. Am I getting bailed out? No, and I am not asking to be!

Oversight should be mandatory for goverment funding. We should know where this money is going.

Greed is eating this country alive and may very well be it’s downfall. I certainly hope change is at least in the near future?
