Has anyone else noticed that the designated person in charge of the bailout is Mr. Kashkari?

I was surprised not to see anything here about the AIG trip to LA that cost us taxpayers in excess of $400K...the trip was AFTER the bailout and was apparently a pleasure trip only.

Cut and Pasted from The San Francisco Chronicle:

Lawmakers revealed Tuesday that just days after the Sept. 16 federal bailout of AIG, executives and salespeople at the firm met at the lavish St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in Dana Point (Orange County), where the rooms can cost $1,000 a night. According to the invoices, the company spent $200,000 on rooms, more than $150,000 on meals, $23,000 in spa charges and $7,000 on golf.



They should be made to pay back every single penny.

Someone had better make sure that money gets repaid.

As an aside - why were spa treatments so much more than golf -what wussies.

I don't think restitution is sufficient after a robbery. I'd rather see prison sentences for everyone who participated.

I dunno if Rexer will go for that... Maybe he has different terms when prison is involved.

Announced today-AIG got another 37 Billion or so.

I take a backseat to nobody in my detestation of expense account stuff as the example cites-However, one small justification may be that it was booked several months ago and that it may have cost as much to cancel it.

LOL, I enjoyed Saucy's post.

Maybe the "spa" sessions included a happy ending.
