Taxpayers Pay For Hunt
Posted by MikeAdams on October 16, 2008
Well this story is going to set you on fire! Before the recent $700 Billion bail out of all the financial industry, there was another smaller bail out of $85 Billion. The insurance company of AIG got over $37 Billion of that bank roll that you and I paid for. Here is where the story gets good! Days after that bail out by you and I, AIG executives were treated to an exotic United Kingdom hunting trip that cost $86,000!
So lets see here, we can’t afford to put gas in our tank, AIG is in financial ruin, we pay to bail them out, and they go on an exotic hunt that costs thousands! Their excuse was that it was already scheduled! Give me a BREAK! Hmmm, let’s see, I can’t pay my bills but I have this trip scheduled, I’ll still go anyway, no one will care because the taxpayers are going to pay for it.
If you would like to read the full glowing report of AIG’s antics they are on msnbc.msn.com
Now here is a topic that you don’t want to get me started on. All I have to say is I want to be a CEO of a company, get paid millions, run it into the ground and then get a multi million dollar severance package. Give me a break. I just wish I could switch places with them for awhile and let them live on my income.

That is amazing. The horrible thing about this story is that I wasn’t surprised. What is going on in our country lately? Where did common sense go?

I don’t get it Mike. If the CEO’s ran the company into the ground, why haven’t they been fired and their pension pulled? The only resort these creeps should be visiting is a cell. We should follow that the kicking the likes of Barney Franks, and Chris Dodd out of congress as well and holding these crooked politicians responsible for their criminal actions. They basically traded loans for votes, so their office should be considered invalid.
