I just heard that the feds are going to give AIG an 85 Billion dollar loan
and in return the taxpayers will own 80% of the company

Maybe I heard it wrong, but if that is accurate, how dare anyone comes out against universal healthcare

3. Hmmmm
Chinese money? Where's all this cash coming from? I just need $60,000 to make up the lost value of my condo so I can sell it and break even. Who do I contact?

4. I heard they were giving it to the Federal Reserve.
We, the taxpayers, get nothing but the bill. As usual.
