| Bailouts are nothing new. We bailed out Chrysler in the 80's and it was taken over by Lee Iacocca and Chrylser paid back the "Bail out". Who is to say that AIG won't do the same thing?

The AIG execs that got the vacation had nothing to do with why AIG needed bailed out. To be honest, the people who got this vacation were the execs on the side of AIG that made money. AIG better do all they can to keep those people employed.Perception trumps reality in a situation like this. A little common sense should have been practiced coming off the heels of the initial bailout. There are other more discrete ways that AIG could have shown some level of appreciation to these executives that wouldn't have carried such a negative connotation for most common folk (aka the taxpayers that are on the hook to the tune of $2300 to every man, woman, and child for this entire bailout package). I would like to know one person here that would have turned this down. These people made the company money...even if AIG went bankrupt and the government did not bail them out certain parts of the company would have survived.

AIG better do all they can to keep those people employed.While that may be true, the reality of the situation is the company is being bailed out by the taxpayer and any impropriety or luxury by AIG management ought to be considered abusive and conceited. Had the taxpayer (read: the government) not bailed out AIG even these executives in the profit making entity of AIG would not have been able to treat themselves to this luxury because the company would have been bankrupt. Regards..............the Chiefjag So the answer is to fire the executives of one of the profitable entities in the firm? While I think they went a little overboard, people do get compensated for performance. They performed well and received the benefits of that. If I were the top management of AIG I would want to keep those people happy and continue making money for me. It was an already planned event and they followed through with that plan after the bail out. It wasnt a decision with the thinking that the US government just gave us 85 billion, lets see how quick we can spend it. Moral of the story, company going down? Screw you I got mine!

I have to look in the mirror every morning when I shave. Were I to work for a company that accepted millions of tax payer dollars to save said company, (regardless of how my department did) how could I then go on a junket and face myself in that mirror? How could anyone justify it?
