With 1/3rd of the replies in the thread . . . I think it's safe to assume BodhiBenz1987 has some opinions on this . . .

Well, to Obama's credit he has said on other occasions that this recession is everybody's fault. Fair enough. But there's no question that in general, people like to spit on big, bad corporations (banks, oil companies, whatever) for ruining our lives. I just think people overfocus on odd things .. great example is the mandate in the no-go automotive bailout package that automakers had to get rid of their private jets. Petty. Whatever, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about ... my brain lives generally on another planet most days.

Its all hot air. Wall Street won't listen until they come begging for some more cheap money from Uncle Sam, and old Sam says GFY.
I look forward to that day, and seeing those fat cats broke and out of jobs. I also look forward to the good companies that will spring up to replace the rotting old ones. Capitalism at its finest.

... and there it is. The aforementioned maniacal blame-slinging. Beautiful.

[QUOTE=BodhiBenz1987;2094675]Well, I've been doing a fantastic job at my workplace, and my company is failing rapidly. So unless you have an inside track to every company on Wall Street, how do you know all these guys have been doing a crappy job? I'm sure some of them are ... heck, truth be told, most people in every industry do a crappy job. QUOTE]
You must work for a crappy company if thats how you see things. I sure couldn't say that about the people I work with. As far as I am concerned the people I work with are extraordinarly smart, hard working, contientous and way underpaid compared to the clowns on wall street who I guarentee couldn't begin to do what we do in our business. I am friends with the guy who runs our division and I pretty sure that he makes in the millions and I don't begrudge one penny he makes.

Yeah you are right what we need to do is give these guys more bonus's. That will fix things. Wow I was worried that we were in real trouble but with a simple solution like that we should be out of the woods in no time at all.

I actually said at one point that I have no problem with cutting the bonuses. My problem is with people pinning the downfall of the country on said bonuses, and crying out about how all this big, bad Wall Street jerks don't deserve their bonuses. Sure, they shouldn't get them at this point, but only from a business standpoint. I never said they should get them. I just said they shouldn't be chained up and burned to death.

But the Human Resource pimps allow that and are in collusion. So the hourly and salaried workers do their 30 years and watch their benefits erode. But no one ever makes execs give their money back. The only reason John Thane apologized for spending a million decorating his office and paid it back, is because he looked so bad no one would hire hiom, SO HE COULDN'T GET MORE MORE MORE! At a minimum, a pension requires five years' service separate from any bonus. I see a big difference. Besides, it can evaporate when the company goes under, even if it's insured.

I think you guys missed my point entirely and severely. Which is forgivable, because I don't even make sense to myself. Is there an emoticon drowning itself in a partially frozen lake near the highway? Probably ... but I'm too lazy to find it.
