Interesting that it turns out all the big banking players like Goldman Sachs got money from the AIG bailout. It figures! It matters when the head of the Treasury is the former head of Goldman Sachs. It also increases the amount of bailout money that they have gotten overall. So, for Bank of America, it's not just $25 Billion in TARP money, it's another chunk of billions from the government via AIG, and they don't have to pay this AIG money back because it's from an insurance policy. Perhaps the banks are in better shape than we are led to believe, with all this additional bailout money flowing their way? We are witnessing how big money and power work in our government.
