Readers of this blog will not be all that surprised by the news over the last few days that over $18 Billion was taken by financial services company executives in bonuses for the stellar job they all did in 2008. It is just the kind of thing we have come to expect, which doesn't mean it shouldn't be criminal! At least the current President is on the side of regular people on this one, and seems to be just as outraged as we are at this unbelievable corruption.

Your tax dollars at work [detect note of sarcasm].
