The "news" reports that is contractual bonuses that were contracted before the plunge and TARP and bailouts, etc...
This is contractual, they have to do it.
OTH, if I were at the helm of AIG, I'd be telling folk you can have part of your bonus & a pinkslip through that door or you job and no bonus through that door. No its not fair but it really is not fair to the people that are paying for this bailout.
Oh, wait a minute, we're not paying for it, China is. And they are already publibly berating the US to make good on it, and they are tired of reaching into their pockets. Just in time for China to be flexing their muscles in a maritime lebensraum.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I'd have to assume these were legally binding otherwise the Government would try to stop them.
What's almost worse are the retention pay increases they say are necessary to keep top talent? Like who the %$%$%$%$ got AIG into this mess in the first place?
AIG should be thankful their doors are open.

How can they be legally binding...we are talking about a bail out...any previous agreement should be NULL AND VOID as it is TAX MONEY to bail them out...there should be NO SLACK at all for this, the government and current administration is absolutely at fault. WRECKLESS SPENDING and another Pelosi trip on the tax payers private jet...And I thought the republicans were always the ones with the blinders on????? Things are out of control. |
