The All-Inclusive Bailout

The $85 billion dollar loan sure helped AIG execs work out some major kinks—in their necks! Days after the government saved the insurance provider from imminent bankruptcy, the executive team celebrated with a trip to the St. Regis Resort south of Los Angeles. 23,380 tax-payer dollars paid for golf, banquets and spa treatments. Even more ridiculous: Eric Dinallo, superintendent of the New York State Insurance Department, lauded the retreat. “The concept of bringing all the major employees together...to ensure that the $85 billion could be as greatly as possible paid back would have been not a crazy corporate decision," Dinallo told the House committee.
