 |  Why bailout AIG!
Don't free markets mean, you are also, free to fail. We have tons of small businesses that can easily pick up the slack. AIG will not make or break this country. Why would you give money to companies that cheat and lie to the people. I love big corporations that build themselves to greatness, but when they fail, they should be treated like any other business. Markets run in cycles they go up and down, by no means USA is down for the count. ARE MARKETS WILL COME BACK they always do. I say take that 700 billion and help the hurricane victims, help the people that really need help.
