I think that's possible, but I don't see why tax payers wouldn't be able to pay off the debt over time. The government could possible make a profit on some of this too. The current plan for AIG is to give them a loan of 85 billion at something like 10% interest + the government gains control of 80% of the company. If that actual works and keeps AIG afloat (I'm skeptical) but then the govt will make a lot of money off of that.
