   Ah Hindsight just think how we all would be so much better off if??? The better question would be is do we continue to bail them out? I say NO WAY!!

   CAN ANYONE TELL USE WHAT THE DANGER OF AIG REALLY IS?

   They no longer pose a Systemic Risk, We are BROKE! Fraud was prevalent in this whole mess to begin with and I don’t see any of them in prison orange, I want to know why not?

   How big are they?
