It is a shift of debt and ownership percentages around to make it easier for AIG to sell off components. It is designed to make it easier for AIG to pay back the Federal government over time and to shrink the company so it is not "too big to fail."

Once again, we get overvalued crap in exchange for real money and we have no input into the process.

7. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson paid $1 mil to pay off a $10 mil bank loan. |
|
That was during the last big recession that began under Reagan. She walked 90% of the loan.
I imagine most Americans could pay off their mortgages if they could pay 10% of their debt, but those deals are for people who can vote to help the banks that give them such deals.
