Go, Claire, go.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill today got national attention for ripping into Wall Street executives and their excessive bonuses.

"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer. They don't get it... You can't use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses."

Then she backed up her tough talk with a proposed law.

She wants to limit compensation given out by any companies that accept U.S. bailout funds.

Tough rhetoric, but are any of the arrogant pricks that took our tax payer funded bailout money and turned it into 18 billion in bonus payouts giving it back? It seems that using that money for any bonuses is not only in very poor taste, but blatantly criminal.

There must be some recourse to force these corporate pigs to return our money!!! It was supposed to be used to help the economy, not fund another junket to Jamaica!:mad:
