I am listening to all the too late talks about AIG's bailout.  I hear government officials, Republican and Democrats blaming each other for not locating the gaping hole in the bill which allowed AIG to self-serve taxpayers money back to their own executives.

     AIG's spin about bonuses for retention makes me nauseous.  It has been noted that 11 of the AIG bonus recipients are not even with AIG anymore. In this economy, what American company is going to hire an executive who was instrumental in running AIG into the ground.  Let alone pay them bonuses.  Are these AIG executives thinking of going to an over seas company---I say, let 'em go!   If the government owns 80% of AIG, can we as Americans demand their immediate resignation?

      Let's face it, the proposed government bailout bills (or any other bill) is not typed on a type-writer!  The pages are on a computer, and can uploaded for public review.   Americans should also have the ability to make their point known on-line, or in a private letter to their government official about what they think, or make suggestions.  I am sure that the millions of interested Americans have either the common sense, or the advanced education to find these"screw" holes that (for one) AIG decided to take advantage of.  What is happening now could have been avoided.  And if AIG didn't want to comply... well, no bailout, just bye-bye AIG.

     If there is an online website to read proposed bills, I haven't found it.  In which case, it is obviously, not user friendly.  America should get interested in finding out more about what our government is doing.  I know some of these bills are hundreds and hundreds of pages long, but I think if you really care about your country, then it is required reading. 

      As  Americans we need to be vigilant as the day we became an independent nation.
