Good. They needed close to $200 billion in bailout funds. They say that they need these bonuses for retention yet Wall St. (let's face it, AIG underwrites Wall St. so they may as well be considered a part of it) has record unemployment right now. How many firms have evaporated? It's not like most of those executives had other options and I bet the # that flee because their bonus was forfeited is minimal.

The people that got the bonuses were probably the same one's responsible for the mess.

I still think the AIG bailout was just a crafty way to make Goldman Sachs whole again without directly giving to them and raising suspicion because of their ties to Washington.
