A.I.G. and Arborside?

Are they kidding? Is A.I.G. trying to pull an early April Fool's Day joke on all of us? They can't be serious in thinking it's o.k. to dole out our tax paying dollars to give bonus money out. Yet that's exactly what they did today! How dare they? As Elijah Cummings said this morning...it's like they took the government bailout money and turned around to slap us all in the face with it! SHAME ON A.I.G. I don't care about the "contractual bound" issues that they say requires them to pay out bonus amounts ranging from $1,000 to 6.5 million dollars. Gee...lets see, what would all those folks do if they didn't get their bonus money? Sue? Then let them spend the money they have now to do just that. It's malarkey for them to say they have to and I must say that I was slightly disappointed with Obama's camp conceding a bit that AIG has to pay it out. Cummings is right...where the hell are these executives going? Nowhere. They got us into this mess with their greed and now it's another injustice to all of us that they still have their jobs and are getting taxpayer dollars to continue funding their personal lives. Absolutely ridiculous. AIG gets 170 Billion dollars so that they can dole out 165 million in bonus money. Just is not right but that's how the world goes huh. I hope those who got more than 50K in bonus money choke on it. Really pisses me off. The rich always get richer but rarely wiser. I'm not against people who work hard making money but many are never humble enough to remember there is so much suffering in this world where some of that money can help. How much does one need to live?

On a separate non-related news story...Arborside? I didn't know there was a word for basically tree abuse. Somebody is cutting trees down in Inwood Park. Perhaps its someone who doesn't have a place to live and needs firewood. Gee..where are the high money rollers at AIG to help someone stay warm and safe??? Goodnight.
