We’re continuing along the Road to Rescue this morning... Some of the biggest names and newsmakers in the economic crisis will join us.
- Donald Trump – He's getting sued again. He recently said the economy is the worst he's ever seen. Would he fire AIG execs?
- Senator Charles Grassley – He's the man who said AIG executives should resign or kill themselves. He's now backing off that a bit. Do you agree with him?
- Congressman Barney Frank – Many say he shares a lot of the blame for helping to put hundreds of thousands of people on the street. Today everyone will be watching Capitol Hill, as he faces off with AIG's CEO.
- McDonald's menu guru Karen Wells – The golden arches are only shining brighter during the economic crisis. Should there be more affordable healthy food on the menu?
- We also have Christine Romans and Gerri Willis taking your calls, e-mails and "tweets."
Here's are some of the big stories we're following for you today:
- The AIG payback – The Treasury Department says the insurance giant will have to give back $165 million it paid out in bonus money, but did the Obama Administration drop the ball as the rich got richer? The $165 million is pocket change compared to the tens of billions AIG placed in risky investments. Why isn't anyone talking about that?
- Following the stimulus dollars – President Obama wanted $150 billion in public works money on the street immediately, but is red tape choking recovery?
- Grocery wars. Major food companies passed the buck to you when fuel prices exploded last year. Now they're down. You're still paying. Why?
- Video game sales soaring in a rough economy. Movies got people through the Great Depression. Xboxes and Wii's are the way to stay home but still escape the harsh realities of a new millennium.
