It is. But I was thinking the other day this bank bailout is a farce.

Why not do it this way. Pass a legislation that a bank MUST pay it's
debts and creditors or face immediate liquifaction. Special chapter
7a if you will.

Absorb the bank, firing all senior management and board with cause.

Jailing all officers of the bank. And I do mean officers of the bank.

Bail out ONLY depositors of insured cash accounts and that is it.
Share holders, bond holders, etc. get zip. Reverse all severance
packages, bonuses and the like for the last 2 years if over $10,000.
Re-adjust the pensions if needed (likely in the toilet).

All BOD, presidents, VPs, and directors stock options and bonuses are
subject to a 5 year review and a truly independent auditor and then
they are paid. Freaking GM used to appoint the same freaking
accounting firm as their independent auditors for the freaking 50th
year in a row.

Wouldn't it be funny to see a CEO's face say that say retired 3 years
ago now get a check for $33K instead of $2M?

Give him a limo ride to a to an all inclusive vacation at the nearest
maximum security state facility.


Isn't it interesting how you and I share many of the same feelings about
corporations and corporate execs. Does that worry you? :)


I am for personal responsibility at all levels. If you are being paid to
do a job you should do the job to the best of your abilities. If those
abilities are not good enough then you should be replaced. I don't care
if you are a union employee or not, I don't care if you have an
employment contract or not. If you don't perform you don't have a job.
