What should the letters AIG now stand for, given the horrible financial mess it has cost the taxpayers?

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Chad Rubel

AIG and yet another bailout: if we aren't going to nationalize the banks, can't we nationalize AIG?

The phrase "too big to fail" couldn't disappear fast enough, but in this case, we are really tired of hearing it.

AIG isn't the only problem, but it's an ever costly problem taking money away from really important needs in this country.

Since the initials AIG will go down in (negative) history even 70 years from now when the next depression comes along, it might be fun to come up with our own phrases that match the initials AIG.

The initials actually stand for American International Group, a rather boring name when spelled out. So how can you make the initials AIG match the horror the company has cost the American taxpayer?

"Ain't it great" would be a really sarcastic version. But give us your best try. What should AIG stand for, given what the company has done to our bottom line?

AIG = Always In Greed

This can be a new closing for people at the end of their email, above their signature, closing their correspondence.

So, instead of "Yours truly" or "Sincerely" write:

Always in greed,
Bernie Madoff

Then, over time, it can be shortened, and one would simply close with:

AIG,
Bernie Madoff
