This is a bridge loan to get AIG enough time to sell some assets and get some cash in the bank. AIG has a trillion dollars in assets and while they fucked up through bad mgmt to end up with not enough cash on hand this loan will get paid back and AIG will move forward.

3-month Libor plus 8.5%, which totals 11.31% at today's rates... Not bad. Looks like the Fed will make a good profit on 85 billion.

And yet another problem. So many ARMs based on Libor.
"The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, that financial institutions charge each other for loans soared 3.33 percentage points to 6.44 percent today, according to the British Bankers' Association. The increase was the biggest in its history. The rate was as low as 2.07 percent in June. "
technically it's a loan. To me a bailout is giving someone money and not expecting it back. if I loan someone money I expect to be paid back.
Every bit of currency that comes OUT of the Federal Reserve is a loan WITH interest waiting to be paid back. They are one of the big reasons we are so far in debt to begin with and them bailing these people out is just another powerplay to stabilize their already ironclad grip on our country.
"The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives." H.S.T. 09/12/01

A loan to a failing company that no other financial institute would go near. We'll see if we ever get it back.
Nonetheless, our tax dollars should not be used like this. It gives AIG a huge advantage over their competitors. It sends the signal to other businesses that if their risks don't work out, the government will fix it. This concept of free market for profits but socialize losses is not something that can continue.
Failure of AIG is not an option at this point, the system would buckle like it would have Bear Stearns went down, sad to say but they had too

Exactly. The Fed is sitting back rubbing it's hands thinking about how it's got another bunch in their back pockets. "Oh...late on the rent are we lad? Well...that's not a problem...but see...we need this little political favor done..."
