Citibank- which is on government "welfare"- is giving 50% raises to the fat cats! When was the last time YOU got such a raise? You are more likely to get a CUT or even a pink slip.

They, along with the rest of their clan, should have been jailed for grand theft, not given bonuses.

Citigroup contributed heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign. No one will get fired and this will continue. One hand washes the other and we get the bill when they're all done.

Goldman Sachs' traders got some pretty fat raises, but even NPR correspondents were suggesting they were likely well earned.
