Yes, you are correct.... that's a butt load of money... but AIG is "too big to fail" and that is because the excessive retirement "packages" that are enjoyed by our illustrious government employees (Congressmen, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, etc.) (both former and present) is held by that same AIG... If that doesn't qualify as a conflict of interest then smack my a$$ and call me crazy. The American Government is bilking this generation and several generations to come of our rights, our livelihoods and our security.  BS! I say.... YMMV but I seriously doubt it. Ride Safely!

They also carry the mandatory disability insurance for some of our military civilian contractors and the truly suck when it comes to covering their obligations. They are a prime example of what the definition of corporate greed is!
