Apparently because at least they have some idea of what is going on where entire new people would make matters even worse...the news is so sketchy it's not possible to know what the hell is happening.I heard this morning that they weren't performance bonuses but retention bonuses. In other words, so the AIG employees wouldn't leave while the company was being cleaned up.Publish the names of those who get and keep the bonuses and publish their past performance evaluations.
If they really did a good job..........................
And we want them to stay why?
Good for him.
I'd be for helping them if they cannot bring themsevles to do the honorable thing, too.
Would you be saying the same thing is someone were calling for other people who have performed poorly and are taking handouts from the government were asked to kill themselves... you know... individuals taking government handouts and benefiting off of failure at the expense of taxpayers?
Just sayin'
I really wish Grassley hadn't backed away from these comments. They're brilliant:
Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves
"I suggest, you know, obviously, maybe they ought to be removed," Grassley said. "But I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.
I suggest the people who gave them taxpayer money in the first place should resign or go commit suicide.
Good for him.

I might if they expected to be driven to execution by a chauffer driven limo, yes.
With enormous power comes enormous responsibility, eh?
I'm just saying, too, you know?

God, Grassley is such a mess. Why would he even say something like this?
Because what is true? In Grassley's opinion someone should go kill themselves over mistakes that were made.... Ok
It's like a scene out of Elizabethtown.
God I love that movie. Although, it was a dark comedy, not something a sitting senator should suggest.
If it's good enough for the Japanese, it's good enough for us.

If he'd said it about the repubs, you'd be saluting him.
Yes, and look at the Japanese economy...
I'm not certain if this would be workable, but I'm thinking the government should withdraw all funding, force these companies into bankruptcy (reorganization), which would allow them to void these contracts, and then offer the help under set conditions.
I can't see how the average American is going to swallow paying their taxes toward these idiot's excessive salaries, when they are the cause of the problem in the first place. I understand that letting AIG go under probably isn't the road we want to take. However, this is ridiculous.
I saw Robert Reich on one of the MSNBC shows last night suggesting that we use the antitrust laws to break AIG up. They can sell parts of the company off separately.
Nobody understands nor can they oversee such huge conglomerate corporations. They need to get the bonus money back as well.

I really wouldn't. I seriously don't know where some of this comes from.
Besides, he probably was saying it about Repubs.
and everyone that voted for it in congressI really wish Grassley hadn't backed away from these comments. They're brilliant:

President Bush and Paulson?
