		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t like federal interference in private industry.  Have I made that clear enough yet?  That means I would have been opposed to former Treasury Secretary Paulson, acting (I assume) on the orders of President Bush,  putting heavy pressure on the head of AIG to step down after AIG received one of their many sacks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NONE OF THESE BAILOUTS ARE WORKING!!!! So what does this clown want to do? That&#8217;s right. He wants to throw more money at the problem we aren&#8217;t fixing (in addition to the 50 zillion other bailouts we as taxpayers have already funded, and the bonuses paid to other companies as well as AIG). No second [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know all this fab populist outrage at AIG&#8217;s behavior from our President, Senator Schumer, Senator Dodd,  Senator Grassley, and Barney Frank? Well, Congress knew about these bonuses before now. WAY before now.  If any of these guys supported any of the bailouts, but especially the AIG bailouts,  with no strings attached, then they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me preface my opposition to the AIG bonuses by acknowledging a few arguments made by my friends on the right. The government bailouts were not the correct response to our financial woes. The most basic economic and domestic lesson we can learn is that throwing money at a problem doesn&#8217;t automatically fix it. That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s now a possibility that our Congress may pass a slightly modified version of Bush&#8217;s socialist bailout.  I guess we should be grateful that the House Republicans were allowed some input in the current draft, because it could be much worse than it is.  However, it&#8217;s not clear that the House Republicans got enough of [...]]]></description>

This plan does nothing to address the misguided government policies that created this mess and it could make matters much worse by socializing an entire sector [...]]]></description>
