I understand that in the private sector, bonuses imply "making more money" for the company (however that hasn't been true for the last two years which I consider a fraudulent rip-off)... However the US government DoVA gives bonuses out to its people... I can't understand it, they provide a service to veterans with taxpayer money... they don't "make" any money... so why are they getting bonuses? The bonuses are absurd.. $60k? For what? Pushing paper? One reason I hate government involvement, they haven't learn ANY responsibility when using other people's money... millions of dollars for bonuses just to come into work? WTF is going...
Hmmm, then how come one of the main Republican rallying cries is "we want to make the government operate more like a business",? I keep hearing that the government wants to attract "top level business people with good business sense" (yet somehow they got G.W. Bush) into government service". The pay scale is statutory, but bonuses are a way to do this.

Ummm didn't people go wild over the AIG bonuses because of the bailout. The deficit is estimated to be 9 Trillion dollars, no one in government should get bonuses with this kind of performance.
