Thread Name: BS: $100 million bonuses to AIG execs
Subject: RE: BS: $100 million bonuses to AIG execs
I may be "off topic", but the incompetence of the "bailout" and "stimulus" packages is worse than any thing these insurance executives have done.

My poor little state of Nevada needs only 1.5 billion to fund state government to the same level as last year. That means no raises, but it means all the teachers, firefighters, highway workers and such will still have jobs.

Instead of the feds giving us money to cover the shortfall, we are getting 1.2 billion and all of it must be used for make-work BS jobs. Yes, some of our quality state workrs will be fired and probably never return to their jobs, while we take untraind kids and have them stick new federally-funded flower pots on Main Street. This is BS.
