No, contracts can be voided and/or renegotiated, depending on the terms.

And look at the auto bailouts: in those instances, union contracts were…you guessed it…voided and renegotiated.

But that’s ok, because they’re just the proles. These are banking execs and AIG execs that totally tanked the world economy. So they’re worth it.

And not all the banks have paid back the TARP money. Those that haven’t can suck a dick when it comes to billion dollar bonus packages.

Also, if you vote for Republicans, you could get a Porsche too, because, capitalism.

i might misunderstand the issue or maybe u do but u seem pretty sure lol. i thought this was about some bonuses to be paid now that banks are ok again not about what happened two years ago. but still if it is in the contract that some dude gets a bonus then he should get it. in fact i think he has to by law.

But Harris, it wasn’t the most profitable quarter ever. It was a fucking meltdown of a disaster of epic proportions of a quarter.

Jeez.

and btw the banks paid back the money so its really none of our business anyway what they pay their guys.

Um, no. AIG has not paid back the money, and neither have many of the banks (Citi anyone?). Further, the counterpayments received via AIG should count as bailage as well.

harris, the whole system was gamed and scammed.
Our multi-trillion dollar economy was skimmed like a rube. The bonuses add insult to injury. Goldman was saved by money paid to it’s insolvent account holders by us. That money was not paid back, it was laundered.

well i was just repeating what i heard a guy say on the radio except for the analagy which i made up. it made sense to me and i think its important to see both sides of the story.

think about how u would feel if u took a job and in ur contract it said that u would get a bonus if the company goals are met. and then suddenly they tell u that ur not getting a bonus even tho it was the most profitable quarter ever. u have a right to that money b/c its in the contract.

and btw the banks paid back the money so its really none of our business anyway what they pay their guys.

I used to think this but if so, I’ve concluded the comedy is mostly unintentional.

” if these ppl do not get paid then they will move to another job that will pay them. that would cause a so called brain drain that would cripple these same banks and undo everything that the bailout tried to do in the first place.”

u r king of non sequiturs, u r. the ‘brains’ that would drain are those ‘brains’ that created this disaster in the 1st place.
