If you are trying to negotiate your mortgage with what you think is the Lender you are going to run into a lot of problems. First of all the people you are calling are the Servicer, they don't have the capacity to make a decision on modifying or negotiating your loan. They are the middle men. They are only passing on the information you are giving to them.

AIG
Why does nobody see the big picture? If AIG is such an important Global economic structure than why is the only bailout money coming from the U.S? Let me put it this way, If you as an individual investor were to put money into your pension fund with a custodian and AIG used that money to purchase these Credit Default Swaps, who is the actual loser here? It is not AIG as none of their money was ever used. So how is it that the government wants to save a company which has, in the past, used bad investment decisions at the expense of their clients? How is it that the bonuses which were handed out 9 days ago are not supervised or had an oversight on the part of the government which bailed them out? It seems to me that this is going to be another drawn out topic of discussion until it gets to the point where no one wants to hear about it anymore and it gets swept under the rug. The entire economic crisis has been caused by the same people who are now receiving bailout money from the government. Have you ever made a bad investment? When that investment went wrong did the Government bail you out? The problem is that the wealthiest people in the world own 98% of the worlds wealth. Now where does that leave the rest of us? We have to comply with the rules and regulations that these wealthy people create!!! Think about it. What is the tallest building in any city? It is usually owned by a bank!!

enemy combatant bailout
There is an easy way to get the bonous money back or otherwise influence the behavior of, well, anyone, well, for any reason. Just declare them enemy combatants and send them to Gitmo. After all, clearly this is a national security issue. Obama just has to give the word. He has the authority. It can not be reviewed.

AIG Bonuses
Washington is 'outraged' at the AIG bonuses, so why aren't they equally as outraged over the bonuses paid out in the latest bailout program? Some call it pork, but when you examine it, isn't it really a bonus for elected officials to bring back to their states? So where's the outrage over that?
We need to get rid of 95% of the Washington crowd and 100% of the greedy CEO's and get some folks in there who truly understands and is in complete touch with the reality of our economic situation.
Right, like that's going to happen!

AIG Bailout
This is one of the most dummest things aig has tried yet the entire executive staff of LOOSERS need to be Dismissed if the company was not bailed out with taxpayer money there would not be any company to give out bonuses to they just don't get it the entire Staff form the CEO on down need to go and to be replaced with managers with common sense because these LOOSERS do not have any they have continued to show irresponsibility first the vacations and now getting paid for doing a bad job and saying that his hands are tied becuase of contracts all of this is just a bunch of LIES they are so used to this type of behavior that they are not going to be able to change it so it is necessary for the staff to change and some of these people need to be in JAIL it's a waste of tax payers money all of need to be taken back every penny there are lots of qualified people who would like those jobs and will do a better job for less they should not ever get another penny from the taxpayers just make them pay up with Interest!

AIG Bailout
When will this countries citizens have enough of these rich CEO, and upper management taking billions of dollars that our kids and grandkids will have to pay back. These managers who have taken this money will eventually turn this money over to thier kids and grandkids while our future generations are paying for their greed. Americans need to start contacting local and state government to stop this criminal behavior that AIG (and other large corp) and now it seems our government is part of the problem. The government is putting the money in the wrong hands, give this money to the people who need the money not to legal criminal who are only distributing it to a select few. Our country has evolved with buinesses growing and failing, why not let these giant corp. fall, let a new generation make their way into the buiness world, and hopfully succeed, it has to be allot better than what these legal criminals are doing to the major tax payer, the middle/lower struggling class.
