Did George Bush bail out AIG to save AIG or John McCain and the Neocons?

John McCain has stated repeatedly and today that "the fundamentals of the economy are sound." Alan Greenspan said yesterday that the economy was in the worst shape in a hundred years. Money manager Michael Lewitt wrote in Tuesday's New York Times, "AIG's collapse would be as close to an extinction-level event as the financial markets have seen since the Great Depression." Imagine if AIG had folded tomorrow and the world stock markets crashed right after Senator McCain stated that the economy was fundamentally sound. It would have been the end of Neocon reign.

"Rob Kall's Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution takes a very holistic view of bottom-up thinking and action, from changes in our psychology to our systems of work, living and governance. As someone who's been working to make bottom-up economics a reality for over 30 years, this book reinforces the need for and potential of redirecting our priorities-- and resources--from the few at the top to the many at the bottom."

Anthony Flaccavento, author of Building a Healthy Economy from the Bottom Up
