Spence, did you get his point that the overwhemling majority of the people who got bonuses had nothing to do with causing the problem? Why in hell are we punishing those that we NEED to fix the problem? I have no clue what you keep dancing around, get over the $1 salary, thats not the point.. The fact is the government determined the economy NEEDS AIG. Like all financial companies, the "NEED" is people. AIG doesent build cars. If the job is going to get done, you need the best and the brightest. DeSantis sounds pretty damn good to me and he said screw you to AIG and the congress. And you know who else got shafted? The taxpayer. There is no way in hell that they're going to get anyone in to replace him. Why would anyone take the job?AIG and Congress has also put a gun to the head of those that are still there. I guarantee that this is just the tip of the iceberg unless Obama backpeddals, which it appears this week he is.

(In my best Spence voice)
But Jimmy, why is he only taking a salary of $1 and getting a guaranteed bonus of $1million? Sounds to me like he's getting a salary of $1,000,001. Why is he paid only $1? It doesn't make any sense. Did you know he only has a salary of $1, but his bonus is $1million? |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

What you're describing sounds like extortion to me.
