It is much like reporting on a guy that puts $1,000 a year into an IRA that, at the age of $70 he received a pay of $200,000. He's put in $30,000 an the rest is appreciation of assets.
The same is with Grasso. If you look at his pay, it's not out of line with other CEOs. And his performance is much better than most, nothing short of spectacular.
The true, unreported cost is the lesson that any young person in America has learned today: be a victim, don't work hard and do not try to be suceessful. The guy rose from a clerk. We used to celbrate such stories in this country.
Grasso was merely thrown to the dogs --- the general public that has internalized the socialist outlook. That's all that happened. The public wanted blood and got it.
