I can only speak to the AIG bailout. I have a vested interest in keeping them afloat 'cause my LTD is paid by them. Granted it's only about $500 per month but that payment coupled with my SSDI makes for a halfway decent income. And these days, it's really less than halfway decent.

I really started to panic when I heard that AIG might end up in bankruptcy. I was relieved to hear that the gov't stepped in. Yes, I know it sounds selfish, but I need to look out for myself.
