How does punishing the “performers” in AIG help AIG recover?
This idiot congress is running off the best and the brightest by demonizing them and levying punitive damages for meeting performance goals.
It is shear insanity.
No, it's intentional. They are trying to crash the system. I used to think I was nuts thinking that, but what other explanation is there? They aren't all stupid. They know what they are doing, it's just not what they say they're doing.
BTW, once again at the top of the hour news break a passing reference to the $1.8 trillion deficit while focusing on AGI and now generic executive compensation.
