Default Looks like AIG may be going bankrupt......

They are the largest insurer in the world and currently have over 1 trillion dollars in assetts and operate in over 130 countries. Also the feds are meeting today and most are expecting another rate cut.

AIG, good, I hated their commercials.

Now if only the Dennis Hopper company would go out of business.

Not the best news I have heard today. Since I have a 3 million term life insurance policy with them.

Other insurance companies will be happy to step in and take over your policies. Paying on death benefits isn't what has these guys going down the toilet.

If Wamu and AIG are going under, let's get it over with and not string it out like we did with Lehman.

Good to know...I was actually wondering what I was going to do with that if they end up going bankrupt.

I'm glad that my tax money is going to save AIG, and all their rich cronies. Very nice.
