No Lilo, you're wrong. Below is a quote from the very article for which you provided a link above:

"The government is still bound to pour more money into A.I.G. if it’s needed, but it still has only indirect control of the company to which it has extended credit and a potential $183 billion in bailout money." Obviously, indirect control is not ownership. As the article points out and as I pointed out in my previous post, the Fed secured its line of credit extension to AIG through a pledge of voting shares so that it could force a sale of company assets if AIG defaulted on loan repayment.

AIG's liabilities are those that accrue to insurance contractual obligations that it entered into and which it is compelled to satisfy or face court claims from the insured. GM's loan requirements are to pay operating expenes assocaietd with producing vehicles m,ainly.
