While compensating people with bailout money to the tune of 165 Million should be put into proper context, I don't think it unreasonable for people to still be pissed about it. Its just one more screwup in the whole sordid affair, taxpayer money still being thrown down the toilet. It's effed up that these people are getting compensated and its effed up that AIG is receiving billions of taxpayer dollars to keep it afloat. Ok we get it, one is petty larceny and the other is grand theft. What's the point in trying to downplay the compensation scenario anyway? What is it a distraction from?
