Well that's who they owed money to. Who did you think they were in debt to?
They got bailed out so the world wide economy didn't fall apart in an instant. We made the system, we benefited from the system, and when the system was about to fail, we had to use our own bubble gum and duct tape to try patching it together.
Since we now own 80+% of AIG, we should start selling off assets to recoup our investment. Get some of that $$ back from the rest of the world.
