AIG, too big too fail. Maybe not. A set up?

Many of the management that have been working there, desperately trying to get things back on track, have had enough of the abuse by the President (it is his blame to have and to hold. He set the ball in motion, and has done nothing to stop it).

Just a (conspiratorial) thought:

• Hand out the cash to “fix it,” knowing it’s a long shot.

• As people are still working at fixing AIG, with some prayer the money might be recouped, demonize the people who are the professionals at work, trying to get the system back on an even keel.

• Professionals depart.

• Replace with “Government Experts” (Oxymoron, I know), and add more layers of regulation. Pay them just about poverty line wages, and expect better results than when run by those who (were) are the professionals.

• System grinds to a halt. Chance of taxpayer ever seeing the return on the “INVESTMENT IN AMERICA?” Approaching Zero. Maybe the real estate and physical assets have a few dollars of value left at the auction block.

• Tell America that “civilian control” of the economy always fails. Point at this AIG scenario.

• Pass laws taking over all financial institutions, put all money into Federal Treasury, promising taxpayers will get a good return on investment (same argument as why AIG got the money, too).

• See taxpayers see their retirement and investment funds go to ACORN to indoctrinate more OBots for future take overs of other “failing” industries, like the auto and energy sectors.

(Really stretching into hyperbole, but it’s not so much fun to dream of the possibilities of “Barry and Rahm’s Excellent Crisis.”)

• See America become like North Korea, but without an Army and without nuclear weaponry (too costly, too “dangerous”).

• See America taxpayers starve. See elected officials set up self sustaining, guarded enclaves, using federal funds from taxpayers retirement accounts.

• See elected officials giving taxpayers big smiles and the Hawaiian good luck hand symbol from behind concertina lined fences, while standing on well trimmed, golf course quality lawns, to angry taxpayers.

Just a stream of consciousness.
