AIG might get a bailout or part bail-out so it still goes back to did Lehman not get bailed out due to its European business or what did not the EEC bail out Lehman.
They were just looking for a bridge loan.
If we(taxpayer) keep bailing companies out, when do they learn not to make the same mistakes again; if there are no consequences for bad business management?? It seems this cycle of bailouts will cost us more $$ in the long run, then the costs of these companies failing in the short term.
