Nothing like a feigned sense of outrage by politicos to CYA for what should be the real outrage AGAINST politicos of both parties.
Considering AIG’s bonus payment plans have been on the books for a year (during which time Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner headed the NY Fed and oversaw AIG), the outrage is feigned indeed.
How’d we get here? Ask Geithner why he pushed to REMOVE retroactivity on bonus checks from the final version of the 2009 lenders’ bailout bill.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
