CHUMP CHANGE
What is all the fuss about AIG "funny money" traders getting 165 million dollars in bonuses for their participation in the meltdown of the American economy? If these folks were smart enough to get employment in the greatest "get rich quick at public's expense" scheme our anti-regulation, unfettered free enterprise political parties could devise beginning with the Reagan administration in 1980, they should be entitled to the fruits of their perspicacity.
Besides, 165 million is chump change compared to the 400 million we squander every single day prosecuting criminal and self destructive wars in the Middle East.
The AIG traders now dodging brickbats are no different than the grunts who went to prison to protect the Bush administration war party of Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Don Rumsfeld and the President himself for their ordering and then covering up torture of suspected evil doers in Iraq.
They are scapegoats.
