Fattening Frogs For Snakes: AIG Bailout

The United States Government has bailed out AIG to the tune of 80 Billion dollars. Oh gee, it seems all we are doing is fattening frogs for snakes. After we rescue it, interests in China suddenly want to buy it.

Bad deal. Again. Another reason not to finance foreign nationals banks. Another NAFTA nightmare designed to support multinational corporations while Americans are loosing their homes.
