Re "Could A.I.G. Happen Again?" (editorial, Dec. 24):
It is ironic that an editorial page that once proclaimed that the American International Group "must be restructured for taxpayers to have a shot at recouping some of the bailout billions" (Aug. 12, 2009) and doubted that the company could repay its rescue would now say it is "not important" whether the government profited from it.
It is beyond ironic that the same page would contort settled tax law to assert that special tax treatment was part of the company's rescue and disregard the Federal Reserve's arrival as A.I.G.'s primary global regulator.
We can debate the wisdom of providing A.I.G. $182 billion in support. What is not debatable is that the people of A.I.G. persevered and have repaid that assistance plus a profit: a total of $205 billion back to the American people. A.I.G. reduced $2.65 trillion notional value of derivatives by 91.5 percent, divested assets worth more than $68 billion, made itself far less complex and markedly improved its risk profile. And we have exercised the same right available to every American company to use deferred tax assets.
It is a result of our employees' determination to repay America that A.I.G. not only supports our customers and employees but also contributes directly to the financial stability of the United States. Thank you, America.
