Wall Street - $70 Billion in bonuses for great work (salaries, Christmas, parties)

[HappyTexan]

Talk about a slap in the face..they were crying for money and the taxpayers gave it to them. Now they turn around and announce $70 billion in bonuses ?? That equates to 10% of the "bailout" and I do mean bailout bill.

Gee..you think they'll still have the lavish Christmas parties ??

Between this and the AIG crap..no one is getting rescued. We're just keeping them living in the lifestyle they are accustomed to.

I believe this "bailout" was Bush's final present to his CEO buddies.
