Hi all-
Thursday morning of AM's Road to Rescue special coverage brought answers to some of your biggest questions. First off, thanks to some great digging by our congressional correspondent Dana Bash we got some answers about just who in Congress and the Obama Adminstration was involved in legislation that ended up allowing the AIG bonuses. Check out her reporting on the issue here.
Also we started the morning with the news that the Federal Reserve bought up a trillion dollars worth of mortgage backed securities. One effect of that: lowered mortgage interest rates for you. Our personal finance editor Gerri Willis took your questions on the news.
Christine and I have quick little discussions in the breaks about all of the hot topics we are covering. We talked about whether all of the populist outrage over AIG is taking away from the larger issue of where our trillions of tax-payer dollars have gone and are continuing to go through the bailouts and other attempts to stabilize the economy. We are digging more into that Friday morning. Hope to see you then!
Cheers,
Kiran
