>>> It might be possible to review their financial status and get the bonuses back.

This is what happens when you push legislation through without anyone knowing what's in it. Your liberal president and Congress did this to you.

"Cummings admitted that the stimulus package was moved through Congress so quickly that there may be room for improvement going forward, including add-ons that would prevent failing banks and institutions from using government money to reward the same executives who were responsible for the company's failure in the first place, such was the case with AIG. "

Well, duh.

"We are a country of law," Lawrence Summers, chairman of the White House National Economic Council, said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos." "There are contracts. The government cannot just abrogate contracts."

Congress brought this on themselves. They could have done something about it but no, the bill had to be passed without due consideration. The American people have reason to be outraged, but the liberals in Congress sure as hell don't.
