Many people think he did a great job under the circumstances and kept things from being even worse. Performance wise, he deserved a bonus. However, there is now way he should receive one given the government aid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828330400342145978.post-6192758574498190182008-12-10T00:04:00.000-05:002008-12-10T00:04:00.000-05:00Blaming "unchecked, unbalanced allowance of these ...Blaming "unchecked, unbalanced allowance of these occurances" is missing the point. If companies want to pay such extravagant salaries to their executives, they can. I have no problem with that whatsoever. But, when those executives come to the government for handouts, the government has every right to curtail such salaries. I don't think taxpayers should be bailing out these companies anyway, but they most certainly should not be paying bonuses to the people who didn't foresee these crises in the first place. The sad fact is that the people with smarts will get NO help from the government, because they avoided catastrophe.

I mean, I agree there may be only a limited role for governmental regulation but there has to be some role for human decency in these horrible times when people are struggling. If you must have a 10 million dollar bonus, don't accept bail outs. It is that simple. And, I blame that on the years (8) of unchecked, unbalanced allowance of these occurances. I am shocked and disgusted.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457844283896844942noreply@blogger.com
