In the case of AIG, I'm not certain that I agree with you. If I'm correct we've given, in total, $180 Million to AIG. In turn AIG has already given out somewhere around $165 Million in bonuses and plans to give out more.

But regardless, the bottom line is that our government did not use due dilligence in handing out money to this company. They did NOT do their homework before throwing this money at them. There was no fiscal responsibility here on the part of our representatives.
