Does the phrase "Miserable Failure" ring a bell?

OTOH AIG had another nice party and someone
is getting a lot of taxpayer money .... well, debt to
the taxpayer, anyway. THEY got the money.

No accountability either AFAIK. Just
free money ... How did this get started

I believe it's intentional. That's why the plutocracy put up a
stupid, incompetent puppet in the presidency. Making every bad
decision possible, like he always has, got us into a contrived war,
and allowed deregulation to trash the economy. It's akin to highway
robbery. We are being fleeced by the robber-barons until we have
nothing left and they have total power.
