Scandalous: AIG spent almost half a million on a luxurious party just days after the firm asked for its bailout. Not great news to surface on the day it asks for more bailing out. And certainly not good news for diminishing that whole "Wall Street Fat Cat Thing..." Just Wow: The Times Square national debt counter has run out of spaces. See how they squeezed the one in with the dollar sign? Chris O'Brien: We should be happy the IPO market is what it is. If not, the valley could be as bad off as Wall Street, right now, he argues. "So it's bad. And getting worse. But it would be an even bigger disaster if IPO mania had returned," he writes. Talking Taxes: Obama and McCain's Tax plans, broken down in specific terms like I haven't seen before. Thanks, Business Pundit. PEC: Apparently the Government Accountability Office issued a report yesterday, which stated that private equity, is, in fact not evil, and strengthens the financial performance of companies. Naturally, PEC approves.
