Latest AIG Outrage
The notion that American taxpayers are "contractually obligated" to pay bonuses to people who cost them at least $170 billion is, even by Wall Street's standards, obscene. And I'm sure it's "legal," which makes it all the more obscene.
Addendum: The list of AIG counter-parties who were paid in full with US taxpayer money. No haircuts in any of the CDS contracts. Everyone paid in full. Unbelievable.
