25 billion ... and yet that's dwarfed by the number they just finished paying back! What a ridiculous situation.

So they're going to try to recoup some of the money they paid back and pocket it. Isn't life grand? AIGs shareholders are trying to pocket 25 billion from the Federal Government. Money that it can use to fund education or fix roads. Hell I'd rather they build a few more submarines with that money instead of giving it to some old rich guy who is about to kick the bucket.
