Re: "This whole flap about AIG bonuses is merely a distraction...."

The MONEY is real, regardless.

And the PRINCIPLE is important.

And... I don't think that the American public is incorrect to feel that it is highly UNETHICAL to pay out billions in 'bonus' compensation (looking at what *all* these bailed-out companies have, and likely will continue to pay out unless stopped) with the taxpayer's money.

Considering that these guys would likely be walking the streets today were it not for the taxpayers rescuing their companies from their failures....

Absolutely correct. ALL the attention should first be on those responsible for not having conditions in place prior to them "investing" the taxpayers monies.
