The congress screwed up by protecting the bonuses in the first place. Now they are acting against a group of individuals. If they thought the bonuses were wrong, why was there language in the original legislation that protected them. This congress is just trying to CYA and making it worse. I hope someone or lots of someones challenges this legislation.
Congress is in D hands and Dodd was just acting as a good loyal pawn of the messiah in the WH. It was all just a good buddy show to their campaign enablers.
