Another Day, Another Bailout

30 Billion (yawn) to AIG. Wait......didn't we already bail them out?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America, America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. Now, in the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power, there was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great industrial empire, made sure of it because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company!

You own the company. That's right -- you, the stockholder.

And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their steak lunches, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.

The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.

Two points:

1) AIG never should have had the first bailout. Never. Insurance carriers come and go. To even consider another one is beyond comprehension.

2) I wish the character Douglas portrays would be my stock broker.

That was Douglas? Looks like Pat Riley.
