What I'm curious about is if the government is run by the people, if AIG makes money, how does that go back to the taxpayer?

Cuz the FED will own 79.9% of the shares of AIG ... that's a pretty big voting block which could and should cause the board of directors to pay a large amount of profit in dividends. On the other hand, while AIG pays back the bridge loan at about 9% interest (I don't pay that much on anything) there's a profit for the FED and if AIG becomes profitable and well healed, the FED can sell it's majority shares.

It it works it's good. If it doesn't, is more good money poured down the hoss hole after bad.
