I'm so mad I could spit!

Words cannot describe how mad/frustrated I am with our current economic crisis. As many of you know AIG recieved a bailout from the government to the tune of $85 billion dollars. Guess what they did within a week of getting their butts saved... they sent their executive on a retreat to one of the most exclusive spas in the country and ran up a nice bill of $440,000. Are you kidding me?!?! $440,000! Think of what the average american could have done with that money. Pay for a house, pay for their kids to go to college, buy 22 really nice cars, buy 1,760 new iPods, pay my bills for the next 20 YEARS. If you stuck that amount into a 3 month CD you'd have another $4,000. The interest alone is more then most people I know actually have in their savings accounts! What the freak!!! Here's the story.

It really makes me mad too! Here I am trying to live on retirement pay and they are doing that. But it's just about what I expected them to do. Dumb!!!!

Oh now, calm down. They have such a hard job. You just don't know how tough it is to have that kind of pressure. They only have those small corporate spending accounts to entertain themselves with. A couple hundred thousand doesn't go as far as it once did.
