This from the LA TImes: Days after the Feds committed $85 billion of tax-payers’ money to a bailout of insurance giant AIG, senior execs from the troubled company headed to Southern California’s ultra swanky St.Regis Resort in Monarch Beach for a week of wining (or should it be “whining”) and dining. The company paid more than $440k for the event, including $23k for spa treatments, and $7k for golf.

What I can’t figure out is how the government decides who gets bailed out, and who doesn’t. Campaign contributions?

Hmmm, I just got to get me one of those “lobbyists”.
