Apparently it's "business as usual" for the execs on Wall Street, despite their incompetence, check the link (leave it to a foreign newspaper to report it). You'd think these scumbags would cut back a bit, but evidently there's no limit to corporate arrogance.
We're looking at paying these guys some 70 billion, a tenth of the bailout funds, in executive compensation, and for what?
The bonuses are for doing what they were told to do. Welcome to the NWO. Wait for stage two, turning up the heat on the middle class and anyone that disagrees with the state. Stage three is when they re-legalize debtors prisons. The Dark Ages are back in fashion again. Nothing left to do but wait for the middle ages. They should show up in around 1000 years.
Since there were no real strings attached to the money, the recipients of the bailout aren't forced to lend their money out to the public (who bailed them out), so the economy hasn't seen any real benefit from it. Of course, King George, Paulsen, and Bernanke are saying "have patience, give it time," now that they've got what they wanted, yet there wasn't any time when they were trying to push it through. Instead of the banks helping us with our money, they're helping themselves, using our handouts to buy out more smaller banks, leaving us with less options, more fees, and worse customer service. What exactly did we pay for, again?
Good thing they snuck a tax windfall to the banks into the bailout package, life sure has been rough on those bankers lately.
...And now the auto industry bailout grab, gimme a break! Those bloated bastards have been milking the government tit for years, now they want a piece of the bailout pie too. And for what? So they can continue to lay off workers while churning out behemoths no one can afford to drive. They don't push hybrids 'cause they don't make money on them. Maybe they'll start making more of them when our government starts attaching strings to the bailout handouts. The DOW's down again, *surprise, surprise*
