Furthermore these bonuses pale in comparison to the percentage of moneys given to foriegen bank from the Federal Goverment (your tax money) through AIG. Dont hear much discussion about that aspect either.

Today good old Barney Frank was on Good Morning America. He admitted that the money given in Sept 08 did not have any conditions with it.

I feel so warm and fuzzy with the folks running Washington.

Today in the new, Citibank gives the green light to a multimillion dollar revamp of their offices in downtown NY. Green light given after stimulus was received

Yes sir, more amenities for those already making millions. Glad we could support the lavish lifestyle at Citibank
