Ex-Treasury Secretary Paulson says AIG bailout was punitive

``"AIG, either fairly or unfairly, ... became a symbol for all that is bad on Wall Street," Paulson said as he testified about the U.S. government's bailout of the insurance giant, which began with a $85 billion loan from the New York Federal Reserve in September 2008.'' -- Let's see, they would have imploded completely without the government's bail-out, but the bailout was "illegal"? We are still incredulous at the proposition..
