bonuses? My first response to this question is “Maybe?” I personally believe that I can make a convincing argument for why bank executives should have got large bonus’s and just as equally a convincing argument as why they should not have. I must start by saying the government should not have been allowed to give out exurbanite sums of tax payer dollars to these banks to begin with.
