Was aig bailed out Videos

+James Starr it is prolific, I think the music fits, it's like the 3 stooges

+Eric Dietz  Or "F*ck AIG" because there are children out there, my bad.

We did not make any profits, the FED gave the big Banks including a lot of foreign Banks trillions and zero interest money, we get a devalued dollar and no interest on our interest bearing accounts, and retirement funds are hurting. Politicians and their friends (Banks and large Corporations) made out like bandits, because that is what they are. Hey, they are giving us all Security in the form of taking away our civil rights, that's so we cannot complain. Question is, do we all feel Secure now?

Frustrated! I'm downright MAD! The American people didn't want to do all these bailouts anyway! Now to be repaid like this! I hope the government remembers this the next time one of one of these companies ever ask for another bailout. Let them go under! It seems like the employees of AIG would be grateful for the bailout that saved their jobs and chastise their shareholders for even thinking about turning on the American people. I hope that anyone who presently has AIG insurance drops their cov

go ahead and try and fool yourself but the things i listed happen in this economy and you are lying only to yourself to try and dismiss what i said. thats just the tip of the iceberg. CEOS ARE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM!!! what a fucking joke!!. ceos and cfos all those cheif executives are being handed these jobs by their daddys family friends. 100 hr weeks!!! these fucks have legions of assistants to delegate ALL WORK TO. FLIPPING BURGERS? i own a moving business with city contracts bitch.

Ok well build a strawman argument. For one I never said anything about "standing up"" against the US gov't with a "pea shooter", nor am I advocating that. The police and military are U.S. citizens, and they are the ones getting fucked the worst, you think they just have blind allegiance? I just think if most people think they are on a team (Dems or Reps) and bicker back and forth and point fingers at each other, nothing will change and it will get increasingly worse.

Barack Obama unequivocally did NOT bail out the banks!! For the last time it was George W. Bush and his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs) that cooked up that idea, hastily sped the plan through Congress (most of which are bought off by Wall Street anyway), and signed into law. Yes, TARP, the Troubled Assest Relief Program, was signed into law on October 3, 2008, a full month before candidate Obama was even elected! My God your dumb!!!

because when the government gave taxpayer money to AIG, they/we did so at a higher interest rate because they were considered to be a high risk...you know, like how banks go and do the same thing to individuals they deem to be high risk. so really the government was just doing the standard practice of the industry and AIG got all butt hurt about it. hell i think the crooks should have been allowed to go under. ps: screw Apophis, hail Sokar!! :P

The trouble is, they have set the whole lot up like a house of cards, and not deliberately in order to defend themselves against being prosecuted, but simply to maximise short term profit (albeit in ways that destroy long term viability). And the problem is, if you look into the structure of almost ANY major American bank, you will find the same fundamental flaws, they are all likely to collapse if you shone a light into any of them.

You're watching TYT of course they won't say. Anyways according to a certain article this is the reason. "Greenberg claims that the terms of the bailout—which eventually resulted in the government owning 92 percent of the company—were too onerous. The government deprived shareholders of billions of dollars and the violated the Fifth Amendment's ban on the government seizure of property without just compensation to the owners."

How about you tell us what the reason for the lawsuit is? This part of the reason why I stopped watching you guys and have moved on to Sourcefed and the PhillyD show. They give us all the facts and keep the opinions to a comment here or a slight remark there, but they're personal opinions are rarely ever the majority of the video. I was hoping this channel had changed... but apparently not... So much for a credible news source.

Cenk I'm disappointed that you are missing the bigger picture. Yes it is a dick move by AIG, and hopefully will be laughed out of court. HOWEVER, the bailout required AIG give up any legal rights to go after investment banks like Goldman Sachs for their fraud, which led to AIG needing to be bailed out. Its funny how AIG are going after the US Govt, and not the Investments Banks, says a lot doesnt it.

this is why we shouldn't bail out the banks in a normal market situation they would have to file bankruptcy just like average people. they should have been jailed, when we bail them out it transfers wealth from the poor to the rich and only delays the economic collapse but makes the collapse much worse. we need to stop fooling ourselves the country is bankrupt and we will have an economic collapse

Sooner or later the people will literally snap and the torch and pitchfork mobs will come after these wall st criminals. Now do you understand where all this gun banning bullshit is coming from? They're scared... yet they keep digging themselves deeper into that hole anyway. And the rich think they're smarter than the rest of us while they paint a giant target on their own foreheads. Idiots.

I PROMISE YOUR PUSSY ASS YOU COULDNT WORK NEARLY HALF AS HARD AS ME YOU OLD FUCK. ive been working since i was fucking 15 and i can tell you with that position you have never physically toiled in your entire life, if you had maybe you could relate. how can the HARDEST WORKERS GET PAID THE LEAST!!! IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. EARNING 300X THE SALARY OF THE BOTTOM EMPLOYEES IS A FUCKING INSANE

I know. I'm not referring so much to AIG suing the government, I'm talking about AIG taking their handouts from the government and then the expectation that they're supposed to be grateful to the government and accept conditions. It's better to not have such a deal from the first place. We shouldn't be bailing them out, and they shouldn't be accepting the "help".

Thees filthy, lousing, low life PIGS are incredible. They would have been dead in the water if wasn't for the US Government. Every one of these "vacationing after loosing billions" MORONS need to be put away for a long time. They steal without conscience and act like they're doing us a favor. WHEN ARE THESE BANKSTERS GOING TO BE STOPPED?!!!

Repubs need to try to ree-xplain to me why the financial big wheelers like AIG are great Americans & I'm a burden to taxpayers. I never got bailed out, & I'm up to my ears in debt from student loans and credit cards that I'm paying off at usury interest rates. Clearly I'm just too dumb to get why average people like me are fucked up.

lol has anyone seen, Star Wars: Episode II ??? How the galaxy's corporations join forces to from the separatists that want to dismantle the republic?? I swear this is going to happen in the US, the big corporations are slowly dismantling democracy. Just saw the movie today for the first time and I kept thinking about this lol

...They probably will win. But what I don't understand is that seizure usually results in something like kicking the person out of home. Than not giving them anything, or nothing worth the value. What I don't understand is they did sign the agreement. Shouldn't they be done same way as they do us? "Read the fine print" rule.

Well I wouldn't say the AIG is worse then the Nazis or KKK, but they are on the same level. They already robbed us blind and now intend to do it once again. The whole mess they put themselves into after they insured faulty mortgages that they knew would fail and made sure not to hold enough capitol to pay them when they did.

omg, he does

SAMESAMESAMESAMESAMESAMESAMESAME IT GETS ME EVERYTIME

I know, right? I swear I've heard the guitar riff before.

+andcut2001 yeap

+Boom Stick There is no question that Rhett is a conservative, he seems like one. I think Link is probably more of a moderate, but was a registered Republican for maybe religious or cultural reasons 

There was also this one time when Link said that someone was ''obviously a jerk'' for being a White Nationalist and a Nazi sympathizer (simply talked with Nazis without sending them to hell.. maybe he was kinda a Nazi himself but as a person who disliked Germans as a young teenager before I started looking into WW2 history and comparing it with modern depictions.. I never call them jerks, not even before I met a bunch of them and all the myths shattered for me). I mean, I know republicans hate Nazis too but it's the alexjones ones that go out of their way to advertise it so I thought it was pretty much case closed with that. Also clarifying things like ''I don't use guns'' without a reason and mentioning racism even though you obviously try to keep the show out of those fields also gives me the vibe that you have strong preconceived notions about somethings, so much that you find it hard to hide them. I don't see that so much with conservatives. I'm still skeptical.

+andcut2001 I got the sense that they were liberals when I saw the people they work with. Very communist/anarchist appearances. One even had a che guevara t-shirt, one looked like an emo etc etc. And the comments I hear every now and then sound democratic (from the party) as well. But I do think they try to keep it clean. I get in a lot of political debates every day with both parties as a Nationalist so I thought I wouldn't fall so far away.. interesting.

Ikr, you would think that they're Democratic, but no

+andcut2001 I rarely ever get surprised on the internet. I'm surprised.

+Boom Stick Sure, here is a link to a document that i put all the links in://www.mediafire.com/view/m1bo8cp9leaoxac/randlrepublican.txt

+andcut2001 Do you have a source for that? I could't find their names.

haha nice

Green is popping out around the Globe...as the SUN Shine comes to those in the Dark a new Green Glow of Indicators are lighting up the Stock Boards. The WORLD has been Holding its Breath with each scrap of Financial News and as the 17 of September 2008 Business Days open around the world, there is a Loud sigh of Relief. We Truly are a Global Economy, lets solve our Differences and remember these events of the last 48 hours, we are still facing a lot of problems, they can be fixed. _ UBUIBIOK

As I understand it: If a bankrpucy judge and his people came in and assigned a 'value' to the mortgage default swaps, derivatives and other toxic exotics that AIG holds, all the other money center banks, i-banks and insurance companies holding this shit paper would be forced to write down the value of reams of this stuff they are holding, 1.4 QUADRILLION! Most are by law BANKRUPT. Protest the FED Day 22Nov! Repeal The Federal Reserve Act. H.R.2755 by Ron Paul. It will take a Revolution!

It was the Clinton admin, obsessed with multiculturalism, that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend, and originally helped create the market for the high-risk subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street. Tough new regulations forced lenders into high-risk areas where they had no choice but to lower lending standards to make the loans that sound business practices had previously guarded against making. That or face harsh govt penalties.

LOL..that's the weakest of attempts to try and link up the democrats with this disaster. The discerning amongst us know who to hold accountable. We see what the last 8 years have brought us. This is how FUCKED up your government is. They admit that the subprime mortgage crisis was the result of BAD LOANS. Then they turn around and give an 85 BILLION DOLLAR BAD LOAN to a company who wouldn't qualify for a home mortgage with that debt to income ratio. Definition FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY!

Calling All Patriots! Have you heard? Nov 22nd Huge Rally/Protests Outside Every Federal Reserve in all 12 Federal Reserve Districts. Repeal The Federal Reserve Act if you want your freedom back. Period. Read G. Edward Griffins' "The Creature From Jekyll Island" before the event. Aron Russo's AFTF. Educate yourself and others then join us in action. These Central Bankster Ratbastards have subjected us to 1.4 QUADRILLION in mortgage default swaps, derivatives and other toxic exotics.

Conservative bullshit, Phil Graham thats who you can thank for the deregulation of these markets both housing and energy. Yeah, all these predatory lenders getting people who wanted nothing more than to own a home convinced that they could afford a flexible rate mortgage because their is NO responsibility or over sight on these loans, that has NOTHING to do with it? Yes, they should have done their homework but deregulation was the EXACT CAUSE by Phil Graham, McBush's main man...

I hate the generations of ignorant people that do not realize that "bail-out" and "loan" means HIGHER FUCKING TAXES! Stop screwing over our children and grandchildren and so forth. It's not just another $40 billion dollars! If things like this continue we will be forced to choose sides between the elite/government and true freedom as per the constitution/bill of rights. We can do it whiteknuckles, but you must get angry and be loud about your rights being destroyed. TH[]INK

The whole system of society (internationally intertwined) is a total scam! Federal Reserve created due to "bank panics" in 1900's. Banking families "came to the resue" to instigate Federal Reserve. They caused the scares in order to gain control of making money for the US! And FED is just a tool of the real international Money Owners Modern economic crisis caused by the Money Owners behind the veil who nobody ever sees. Economic crisis = Chess move by NWO

Bush 5 years ago asked Congress to create a new agency which would determine capital reserve requirements, and ensure Fanny & Mae companies managed their risks properly. As we know now, those calls for tighter regulation by the Bush administration went unanswered. Why? Congressional Democrats feared that tighter regulation of the companies could sharply reduce their commitment to financing low-income and affordable housing. Now this disaster.

WOW! How cool! I now own 80% of an insurance company. Awesome! I also own 3 Trillion in mortgages. Ok... Ok... some of them are bad. But who cares..? How fun is this ppl? Look on the bright side we can now insure ourselves... no wait... that's not right. Heey! Wait a minute! Why am I still paying insurance when I own 80% of the company. That doesn't seem right... oh well... what's on TV, something good I hope!

Next time a they ask you for your payment, tell the lady on the phone that "I own part of your company thanks to George Bush my tax dollars have bailed out out". Then politely ask them for YOUR payment, since they owe YOU billions in tax dollars, when they sit silently on the phone, tell them "Well looks like I will need to send you to collections, you will be receiving a letter, have a nice day":})

Oh I get it..the Feds will give billions from the money WE pay in to the tax structure to take care of US to business that lobbied lawmakers to force people to buy insurance. (Try driving without it) Meantime, we keep paying the insurance premiums to them too, i/e business as usual. Well heck, as long as it was fair.. give me a break. What the hell is this, welfare checks for the rich?

You must all thank your goverment for giving the Federal Reserve the right to print money out of thin air to consolidate their power. Be ready to become the slave of the international bankers. Corrupt congressmen are guilty. Watch this movies: Zeitgeist, Freedon To Fascism, The Money Masters, Money as Debt, Monopoly Men. The ultimate truth relies on those movies.

see what you can do by printing money? save your friends ass.now about those daily phone calls over my 30 year old bad student loans where the f*** is MY bailout under the equal protection clause. Is this the same government? I have to drink blended scotch with my cheech valdez coffee. At least this depression we dont have to suffer prohibition too.

I'm tired of the GOP ideal of privatizing profits while socializing costs. (Read AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) I don't like the bailing out of these poorly run, mismanaged, publicly held, companies who are guilty of corporate avarice and capitalist malfeasance. It amounts to welfare for the rich.

The villain of AIG is MARTIN SULLIVAN. This individual should suffer public ridicule every day for the rest of his life. He received $10's of millions of dollars for sinking the AIG ship and refuses to give any of it back while tens of thousands of investors have lost their life savings.

CFR at work Vague explained $500 Billion Dollar Bailout. AIG given a loan or mortgage of $84 Billion at 12% interest. Suddenly $500 Billion made out of nothing or a $84 Billion loan. Debt into money. Nothing is backing the $500 Billion Bail out. AIG is worth 100 time over its value...

Democrats in congress are overseeing the financial regulations right now. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Once again the dems fail. There's no reason to believe there will be any change when they could change things right now and have failed to do anything for years.

Napoleon'sUncleRico13: The current bailout crisis was precipitated by policies advocated by Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers, who were Clinton's Treasury Secretaries, and they are currently two of Obama's main economic advisers.

Our tax dollars goes to non-profit medicare, insurance, mortgages, and lastly to the non-profit retirement funds. Wall Street and Credit cards should leave to as entertainment of the United States soil. Debtors driven economy is a prostitution/casino money psychology; there education, health forecast, and retirement plans are all illusions.

Hudson is an intelligent man. I don't know why he insists on drawing distinctions between Republicans and Democrats. They are just 2 sides of the same corrupt coin.

hehehe, i was being a smart ass. let me know if you find it i wanna see it 2 ;)

where is US bails out AIG for 85 MILLION dollars-must watch 2/3?

that i no.but i whant to see it. :)

not here

The republicans have been the absolute top proponents of deregulation for the past 40 years!!!! Republicans insisted on deregulation. Im not doubting that the democrats did their share of complicity for this crisis. Both parties did. This is why ordinary people cant depend on these parties for change.

Thanks for posting this. I am in the Mortgage business and it has been on a down hill roll the last 8 years. I can't get Democracy Now on my TV anymore. I go to their website or watch the videos that you post. Thank you for keeping us informed with some true 'no spin' news.

People are losing their homes in the millions, and the rich just stole $700 billion dollars from US taxpayers, and all you can think about is some insignificant relationship that a politician had with someone else???? Are you really that narrow-minded?

And of course for the regular person like you and me, the Bankruptcy Laws got a lot harder. My solution: They just call a world wide "Jubilee" with all debts to all are pardoned and we all can start over. That would certainly jump start the economy.

Amy Goodman should STOP talking too much & repeating the same intro over & over again. Allow your invited panelist to talk instead.

Question is how many really even care,,,,most folks are so Brainwashed by the talking heads in congress & the media as well as the plug-in drug,,,they do not EVEN know what is upon us!!

youtube keeps taking down my pics

Communism started in Germany due to the Capitalists greed during the Industrial Revolution, not saying the Communist regimes implemented their ideology positively, but we have to see things in the context of history. Why is this ideological battle between so called "Free Market Capitalism" and Communist/Socialist system continuing today?

Thats what the owners count on the fact that americans will probably remain willfully ignorant to the big red white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth its called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. RIP OLD MAN -GEORGE CARLIN-

look, we ust saw what bush oversight did- the regulators did nothing but watch the industry tank. We need non-partisan regulation... now how we get THAT... is the question.

I thought socialism was more friendly to independent businesses not corporation. This is all capitalistic greed.

bailing out all these assholes did not make it any easeier on the average person.

Lack of Regulations is part if what got us into this Mess!

More regulation is exactly what we don't need. Just sad.

Thank god mccain didn't get elected
