I'm sorry when you go to DC with your hand out looking for tax payer money because you've lost billions of dollars and now your company is about to fail your bonus shouldn't be reduced by 44%, it should be reduced by 100%. When you pay back the tax payers and your company goes back to making money then you can write yourself large checks with lots of zeros on them all you want.
And it still bugs me these guys went to DC and basically said "give us money or we fail." And the powers that be couldn't write that check fast enough. Few questions were asked and few safeguards for the use of the money were put in place. Hell I keep reading stories stating no one seems to know where the money's going/went. Looks like some of it went or is going to bonuses.
All that's in complete contrast to the reaction the auto markers got when they went looking for tax payer cash. It was all where, when and how is the money going to be used to turn your industry profitable... oh and by the way how did you get here today? I never heard the Wall St. guys asked if they flew coach.
