"Also, as I have said before, there is no reason to bail out AIG the holding company, which is what our dear government has done. We only care about the operating insurers, not the company that owns them. For the nonregulated entities inside AIG, the only one that has a material impact on the rest of the world is AIGFP. Guarantee this if the US government must, but stay out of the rest of AIG. Let that go into insolvency; there is no compelling reason for the US to protect it with tax monies."
