Insurance companies claimed the bombing would do no lasting damage to their businesses....and only 10 days later are groveling for a bail-out? quote.bloomberg.com One of two possibilities: either they are REALLY in deep $hit here, or else they saw the airlines pull the wool over congress, and they wanna borrow that playbook! Who's next...hotels, casinos, car rental companies, baseball players and owners (hey, they missed 6 or 7 games), restaurant owners, taxicab drivers...you get the picture. And what about all the investors, who lost 1.4 trillion this week. Surely it wasn't THEIR fault...where's THEIR ClownBuck infusion from Uncle Sammy? Nope, the insurers shouldn't see a dime. Capping lawsuits is one thing...making them whole QUITE another. Let them eat claims forms, I say!
