For those of you who think $165M is chump change, |
|
have you considered how many $50K jobs this money could have supported? How many mortages could have been paid with it? How many students could have been educated? Schools repaired? Medical bills paid?
This AIG bonus thing is important. It is a lesson is the putrid corruption at the heart of our financial and government sectors.

3. Overlooking such things only empowers the next crook... |

It's very important on principle, and in addition to all the very good reasons you note.
