I heard about this and I feel that these guys should be brought up on some type of charges. Someone from the government needs to plant evidence from a murder in all of their houses magically find it, and then send these f*cks up state.

Or the government could just give the executives' vacation homes to someone they forclosed on. That plus a bit of jail time would be justice, in my mind.

All they had to do was look on TWT. We've got lots of suggestions.

I hate to say it, but this angers me. And this angers everyone. I say this is the last straw for McCain because the democrats have run on the premise of rich people being the root of all evil, and the republicans have defended them in the concept of equal fairness. I think this one now sells itself. Its sad, but the boat is sailing.

Do you know anything about the insurance industry?? AIG is one of the strongest companies in the insurance market. They make money hand over fist. Their FINANCIAL market, such as investments and retirements and etc.. They lost their asses and hid it from the investors. Those guys did not go on this trip. They are the ones who got bailed out, not the ones who went on this spa trip.

Not only that, a trip of this magnitude is planned months in advance. Hell maybe years. It's not as if they figured "well hell, we just took billions in taxpayer money, let's send our execs next week!"

These guys did nothing wrong.

I thought AIG insurance was in trouble / bankrupt becuase they were underwriting a lot of the mortgage insurance.
Either way they are part of the same parent company that is getting bailed out. In most companies, when one section of the business is having enough trouble to effect all of the others, there is belt-tightening everwhere.

These execs should be smart enough to know that this was extremely bad PR.
