A.I.G. Chief Expected to Offer Bonus Compromise

Edward M. Liddy, the embattled chief of American
International Group, is expected to tell a House committee
that he will ask employees who received widely criticized
bonuses last week to give half the money back.

1. this is a global problem

too much wealth and power goes to people's heads and makes them believe they are god-like.

2. Oh, but I thought bonus contracts could not be changed.

sarcasm.

3. Here's my compromise

Give it all back & you won't go to jail, you fraud.

5. from what I understand...another billion in bonuses will be paid out in the year 2009...so...

if they get to keep this bonus...and nothing changes...why not go for the rest?
