Merril CEO wants an 10 million dollar bonus...while workers are being let go

What a small potatoes piker he is, then...
The Fan & Fred CEOs made off with 100's of millions.

The "financial sector" was simply responding to incentives and threats from the DEMOCRATS in gov't to make loans to people who didn't have the means to pay them back.

Look-Fannie and Freddie are the least of our worries believe me. This is a huge problem. You are thinking as a Republican who wishes to blame the Democrats. It’s not that I don’t admire this sort of thinking. But it is not true and won’t work. Everyone acknowledges that while Fannie and Freddie were problems...they in no way caused this catastrophe. You have to assign blame where it belongs-Wall Street bankers. Now they need to change their behavior. Thus must be held accountable.

Also, Merril already received tax payer money...so our taxes pay this bonus.
