Yup, bonuses from the bailout money, 50 billion of the 125 given out so far is bonuses. We're the patsy, Paulson is the bank robber and goldmans sachs is in the getaway car, and W the moron (who said he wont sign the bailout if there was limits on executive pay) is the mastermind of the heist.
Cool.

This is the result of "privatise the profits, socialise the losses" ... and why bush is a commie.

and hell we got a socialist wanna be runnin as well. lmao, i htink the bonus thing is crap though. im NOT saying it is bs. AT ALL. it is crap, they are payin temselves with money designed to well to save company or other things, not their bank accounts

these people will not see a dime of it...the justice dept and politicians will not let it happen. normally it would but this is not normal times we are living in.  welcome to the great depression of 08 ladies and gentlemen.

yeah frankie continue to have faith in the morons in office.       

and frankei wants liberals in office. it was after all the same peopel who were part of teh downfall of two banks, who are part of a candidates team, and form the days of a certain president who helped push this thing forward, a decade or so ago. this fuckups been coming for many years, possibly several decades in teh making  , and probabaly several decades more to fix

i know how the system works, having been part of it for almost ten years. it is not perfect but it is the one we have.  i am running for office again in 2012 and have already begun setting the ball in play for that.  this time i am running for the senate then i wish to be secretary of defence..that is my ultimate goal.

lol that would be fun. a gstwin family reunion, half of these people id buy a drink for, ( half i owe them one), the others, well  but yeah, cool ass conversations would be happening 

I can't think of anyone who deserves bonuses more.  Their companies were teetering on the brink of complete meltdown, Enron style, and these CEOs managed to successfully lobby the government to bail them out.  That's a monumental accomplishment.  The fact that the bailout is funded by taxpayers is beside the point; these guys made miracles happen for their employees and shareholders.

That's an interesting point of view- and you really are right, these jerks got rich fleecing the public and they just got more rich by figuring out a new way to do it where the public couldn't say no.

i still wanna junk-punch them. 

no doubt. They certainly deserve it.

You want to get MORE upset about the bailout?  Read this one:  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/25/business/25nocera.html

Government mandated robbery of the American people!

even if they are hoarding the money, (which i suspect many are), with the bail-out written as it was, what recourse does our govenrment or even we the people have to punish these banks? do you propose bank robberies en masse? (i say this in jest, don't take me seriously). honestly though, what can be done now? 

Nothing- we are just hosed. Really, we are more hosed because now we are all automatically signed up to pay off that 700 billion and will never get anything whatsoever to show for it. We don't even get a shiny aircraft carrier or anything tangible just another bunch of rich pricks golden parachuting off into the sunset while we pick up the tab. God bless America!
