You know, that's all fine and good, but I (and my husband) are business owners and if we made a bad business decision which resulted in a loss, to the point that we had to take out loans to keep the doors open (because we sure as heck wouldn't be getting any money from the govt.), there is no way that bonuses would be distributed, either to our employees or to ourselves. We would be hanging on for dear life, and our employees would be lucky if we could keep the doors open so that they could continue receiving their paychecks.
I certainly think Barney Frank's suggestion for suicide was not only ridiculous, but repugnant (but that goes IMO for just about everything that comes out of his mouth).
But, as a taxpayer, and as someone who runs a business that is confined by the rules of "sensible business practices", the idea of handing out bonuses when your company is going down the drain, and that those bonuses are coming from my and other fellow taxpayers' money is as ridiculous and repugnant.
