These arrogant members are the new American version of the old European nobility and they believe they are entitled to bonuses for all the billions they scammed from the tax payers. They don't care where the cash comes from as long as they get as much as they can all the time. After all they are the architects of turning America into a country of debt slaves whose purpose as slaves now is to bail them out so they can keep us in their servitude. Good article....call their bluff!!!

As far as I know the AIG Financial Products Unit has ahhh... slightly underperformed in the last two financial years... Right??? Hence there would appear to be no justification to award bonuses. As far I I know isn't this unit solely in business to wind down the positions they have? <br><br>AIG needs to get back to its core insurance business as soon as possible. Paying the insurance performers would appear to be justified as this is the part of the company that will continue. Mr Libby's response to this issue appears very weak. As a last ditch effort to save whatever pennies of shareholder value are left I say bring back Greenberg as an advisor or CEO with a strong regulator minder looking on. My grandmother could have done a better job than any CEO has since he left and she has been dead since 1984. Bonuses are for performance.

We are we bailing out the crooks who gambled with their shareholders equity and lost.?

Why are these betrayers of their fiduciary responsibilities still walking the streets as free men?

Why in heaven's name are we as taxpayers now supplying funds to pay these failures a bonus?
