So you drive a company into the nation's largest bankruptcy, and what do you get? Oh, two years pay of $10 to $25 million. But you know, it's a competitive market, and we have to pay them to keep that fine, fine talent. So we are setting aside $2.5 billion, to assure that we can.
It's time to end this "heads we win - tails you lose" game. I'm writing my senators and congressman to make sure we don't just buy crappy mortgages, that instead we liquidate these bastards' firms and make them pay the price of failure. I realize that certain retirement funds will also get slammed, and small time investors will pay as well, but this cannot be allowed to go unpunished. Are we to encourage them to try this again? What will be the next fancy derivative wall street will use to pick our pockets? Enough.
