U.S. Bailouts Add to Risk of Depression, Rogers Says (Update2)
By Chua Kong Ho and Bernard Lo

The U.S. government should let American International Group Inc., whose fourth-quarter loss was the worst in corporate history, go bankrupt, Rogers added in a Bloomberg Television interview today. Congress approved a $700 billion bank bailout package in October, and President Barack Obama’s administration has suggested it may need an additional $750 billion.
