I agree with you Kevin, but IMO this is what should happen when you come to the gov't for money and make a deal with the devil.
But let's point our fingers at the right group of people, and that's the government. It's the government that stole our money in the first place, and this wouldn't even be an issue had they not done so. So to fix the problem that they caused they decide to go against the Constitution in many different ways? I believe, as editec said, that that is far worse than the bonuses.
After mulling this over and getting over my initial reaction of pure outrage, I think you guys are right about this issue.
