Just a darn minute…surely our government wouldn’t transfer any of our hard earned tax dollars to give bonuses to regulators. That would be down-right unamerican.

Big Bonuses? Consider $19 million divided by 4 years (2003-2006) divided by the number of employees in the agencies yields $731. If the bonuses were concentrated in the top 25% of the employees, that’s $2714. Please. With what these federal employees have to deal with, traveling around the country, supervising 8,500 banks, if you add a 0 to that it’s still a paltry sum. Consider that all the bonus given to all the regulators over 4 years was about half that given to one top investment banker at Merrill Lynch in 2009 alone. Again, please.
