After receiving bailout money, the executives are laughing their way to the bank

Were bailouts given to secure fat bonuses?

USA Today wrote about ‘The AIG effect’: Executives finding ways to spend more discreetly. More than a disappointed parent, they need a special prosecutor. Anyone who gave bonuses after accepting federal aid should be fired, and that money should be disgorged to the Treasury. Claire McCaskill popped out a bill to limit the pay of anyone at firms taking federal money to no more than the President makes – $400,000. She said on the Senate floor, “You can’t use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses. And they owe us something other than a fancy wastebasket and $50 million jet.” One Obama official said her idea is catchy, but it won’t work “because no one would come to the Treasury to participate, and that means our economy would continue to stumble downward.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley urged the administration to snatch back the bonuses. The Republican told me, “If this were Japan & a corporate executive did what is being done on Wall Street, they’d either commit suicide or go before the board and the country & apologise.” He was shocked to learn that the Office of Management and Budget, insistent on following the Paperwork Reduction Act, was dragging down a special inspector general’s investigation of what banks are doing with taxpayer money. Aren’t the taxpayers shareholders in these corporations now, and can’t shareholders sue or scream “You misspent my money!” like Judy Holliday? “In The Solid Gold Cadillac,” said Frank, who knows the movie.
