If they REALLY want to steer anger at bonuses, focus on the bonuses being given out by FANNIE and FREDDIE.

But OH NO, that is a Dem controlled company, too many worms to let out of the can, cant let that happen.

Why isnt there ONE Repub who stands up and says “hey, why are Fanny and Freddy giving out bonuses?”

No testicular fortitude.

Why wasn’t there a Repub walk out in the House when they wanted a vote on taxing these employees? Why didn’t they collectively say, ‘This isn’t American. This isn’t what we do here? We won’t participate.’. It’s disgusting.

The bonuses were agreed to in March 2008, long before the company came to the government for help. Liddy said at the hearing that Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke knew of the deals months ago.

Committee members requested that Liddy provide them with minutes from all meetings with the Federal Reserve Bank, and the New York Fed, where the bonuses were discussed.
