Four AIG executives spend $90K of taxpayer money hunting partridges
 In
an astonishingly brazen move, the insurance behemoth AIG decided to go ahead
with a planned hunting trip to England for some of its top executives,
spending $90,000 for an extravagant package at precisely the same time that
ordinary taxpayers were forced by the federal government to save the
floundering company with a $123 billion bailout.
Even more disgraceful from a financial standpoint, although less harmful to
wildlife, was another AIG junket a few weeks earlier that saw bigwigs
luxuriating at a California spa to the tune of nearly half a million
dollars.

“tone-deaf Wall Street titans” ought to be grateful to the American citizens
footing their bills. But apparently there is no limit to the selfishness or
shamelessness of these spoiled persons.
