This AIG thing, and all the other scandals like it, will just keep on happening, until corporate lobbying is banned, public financing of elections is instituted, and media is spun off away from the profit-making parts of their parent companies..
Ole Mitch Mcconnell frothed at the mouth when he demanded to know "how this happened"..
The kindergartner version for Mitch:
MILLIONS of dollars buys campaign goodies for senators & congresscritters, who in turn, enact sweetheart legislation (to keep the money flowing next time), media declines to dig too deeply because they want to be invited to all the fun events and to be on speed-dial with the influential legislators.. the corporate vultures/vampires run amok, steal all the money, and then ask for MORE..and congress gives it to them..
That's how it happens, Mitch..
