2005 1117 - GOV (Senate) - A Review of the GAO Report on the Sale of Financial Products to Military Personnel, Richard Shelby (R-AL) --- [BonkNote]

(p38) - Alan Grayson (D-FL) - Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that we agree that something went badly wrong in the case of AIG, and that bailing out AIG was not the best use of $100 billion of taxpayer funds.
- ⇒ Somewhere along the line, somebody should have had the authority and the guts to say to AIG, you are doing something wrong. You need to stop.
And what I want to hear from you all is I would like to hear your best ideas about what the substantive rules should be in order to avoid a recurrence of the situation that we have had with AIG. And I am talking about specific limits because I am concerned that if we simply say to a systemic risk regulator, you figure it out, that is not being responsible.
...
What are your best ideas about when to tell AIG or any other insurance company that enough is enough?
