It was not a loophole, it was put in to do just what it did.

And according to Dodd it was put in at the insistence of the treasury department.

It is a sign that the National Nervous breakdown is NOT over. SIX BILLION was little porky stuff we didn't care about according to Chuck Schumer, but thse saleries ARE earth shattering? What kind of fool have many become?

Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make proud. And in just under 2 months, they've tanked worse than any administration in recent history.

I'm wondering if Geithner will last through the weekend. Fall time.
-
I "do not" want Geithner to resign or get fired.
I want him to keep doing what he is doing, phucking up the economy, because it will lead to the voters reversing during the 2010 elections, which will be the majority party.
2012 will see obama being escorted out of the white house because he is far more incompetent than many dems and libs are willing to admit.

Indeed, the two things that would restore some minimum confidence, and REDUCE by BILLIONS the money needed in the banking mess remain not done, and neither has been done, these are addressing mark to market and the uptick rule.

Dodd is full of shit. The Bill was written to exclude bonuses.

But Dodd's amendment Protects "Bonuses" endered into prior to March 09!
