Your math is quite flawed. That would amount to $425 per qualified individual. You'd need to jack the price up to $80 TRILLION in order to give everyone $425,000. Nice idea, though. Call me when the shuttle lands.

It was probably an AIG accountant that did the math.

You beat me to it, dude. Just did the math...long hand. I'm old fashioned. Only took a few minutes, though. :lol:

You could have worked in a Japanese post office back in the 80's. they were still using the abacus.

The reason for the bail out is due to people's pensions, 401K's, and other money they desperately cannot afford to loose are at stake. I say put something in the bill that removes the "golden Parachute" or as Dennis Miller says, give them a real " Golden Parachute" and shove them out of a plane! LOL! Not really! But they should not walk away richer for it. They should loose most of their assets to help pay on the shotty way they handled the money of people that trusted them.

One major thing that the media (hence, the public) is not focusing on: :roll:

It is merely the parent (holding) company that is having the liquidity issues, not their insurance businesses. Those companies are financially sound and have recently been confirmed as such by various state insurance departments as having substantially more in assets than they need to pay all valid present and projected claims.

There... You've all been properly informed now. :wink:
