Edward Liddy, the head of AIG, says he had no choice but to pay $163 million in bonuses with taxpayer money to the very people who caused this recession.

Timothy Geithner, the treasury secretary who doesn’t pay his own taxes, says that AIG has to pay the bonuses to the people who ruined AIG, to retain them.

Barack Obama, the naive young president of the United States, calls AIG bad; says in the future that he will not tolerate this behavior by AIG executives, but he can’t do anything about what has just happened.

Well, I certainly do not have to tolerate AIG arrogance. I have canceled my AIG insurance, now called Century 21 Insurance. My five autos now have a new insurer, one not on the government dole needing billions in bailouts.

People can do something about all the greed, corruption and arrogance of the executives and politicians. People can say no to the bailouts, and to the government officials who have shown they cannot be trusted to do the right thing by taxpayers.
