I posted about it last night. It’s where Republican Eric Cantor tried to say that the Democrats voted to let AIG keep their bonuses. Well now that the actual bill is coming up today, the one that gets back the bonuses and prevents this from happening again, Cantor isn’t sure if he will support it or not.
Again – the Republicans think that these bonuses are fully justified. They are just acting outraged because the people are outraged. During this entire TARP fiasco, right from its onset last year, Republicans have continually blocked legislation to prevent these kind of bonuses. Perhaps people need to start asking the GOP about their opposition to such safeguards up until now.
