This is an example of Republicans being thermometers instead of being thermostats. The GOP needs to inform the American people that the problem is not bonuses to bailout companies, it is the fact that we bailed them our in the first place. THE PEOPLE'S problem is not the bonuses, it is socialism.

Furthermore republicans should be against this legislation because it is attempting to make future bailouts palatable to the people. Republicans should be drafting legislation making it illegal for the government to lend money directly to any company.

Republicans were stating they had legislation drafted to take back 100% of the bonus money. Be careful here on what you expect them to do.

While you're absolutely right, No bailouts would have been necessary if the SEC hadn't handed the fraudulent naked shorters the banking industry in the first place...Naked Short Fraud took down Bear Stearns and Lehman in today's Bloomberg.
