Not nearly enough! -- nm - The Hon. Michael Bloomberg Nov 12, 14:31
my sentiments exactly. You get a bonus for good performance. I could get a monkey to do a shitty job with my mutual funds. And pay him in bananas. -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 14:28
they just need to ask it 3 more times, and then CNN or WaPo will pick it up, and people will start paying attention. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 14:24 5
- People are paying attention, it's they feel they can't do anything about it -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 14:27 4
  - Now wait a minute, the public outcry got them to re-work bailout package # 1 into # 2 - which they are now abandoning - Pippy Nov 12, 14:29 3
    - Didn't Congress put in some kind of oversight into plan #2? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:31 2
      - I hope not - Pippy Nov 12, 14:37 1
        
        Seems like that was the uproar over #1. "Oh no you di'nt just ask for $700 billion with no strings." -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 14:41
