    "And stop with your entire bullsit argument. Contracts are broken every single day in America. It's why we have courts, lawyers and a legal system. We have an entire bankruptcy system solely designed to process broken financial contracts."

    You're forgetting something TBO. It's the government acting as the judicial branch in deciding the outcome now. That doesn't raise the hair on your neck? In your rebuttal you mentioned 'court' how many times. There is no court in this matter. It's wrong. It was wrong for AIG to do this, and it's wrong the way it's being rectified.
