国外：莱曼垮掉，AIG出事

The Fed’s lifeline has been stretched. There has $29 billion to swing the sale of Bear Stearns, $200 billion for Fannie Mea and Freddie Mac, upto $300 billion for the Federal Housing Authority to guarantee troubled mortgages, and now an $85 billion loan to AIG. Tax payers are now potentially on the hook for more than $900 billion. The question raised is the Fed taking on too much and is gambling away the credibility it won earlier when resisting Lehman Brother's rescue plea.
By helping AIG but not Lehman Brothers the Central Bank invites questions about what makes a company "too big to fail".
"I think 'too big to fail' means domino effect"
Fed official said AIG’s extensive involvement met its bankruptcy would have had huge global repercussions. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is due to testify before a congressional committee next week and can expects some pointed questioning on what it means "too big to fail" and whether there is any safety left for investors in US markets.
