If AIG were to fail it will set off an immediate chain reaction. In the spirit of what you are saying, probably this insurance should be the only thing which US government pay attention to.

AIG has received a $150 Billion rescue package from the government and still is reportedly asking for more help. When these failing companies are still going under despite multi-billion dollar rescue packages is it time to reexamine the current economic initiatives being promulgated today by the government? http://www.weeklypoint.com/2009/02/24/aig-fears-60-billion-loss-begs-for-more-taxpayer-money/ Is AIG an example that trying to bailout these failing companies is not working?

When these failing companies are still going under despite multi-billion dollar rescue packages is it time to reexamine the current economic initiatives being promulgated today by the government?
