I'm stunned that no one tried to safeguard against paying bonuses with tax dollars for pretty spectacular business failure.

One some level, I guess I can understand why: the idea that they needed to be paid retention bonuses never crossed my mind, so I wouldn't have thought to prohibit it.

Really AIG and Fannie and Freddie? You're worried that the people associated with catastrophic failure on the scale of bringing down the entire US economy are going to leave for better paying jobs elsewhere? I guess the US Treasury department IS hiring.
