Bottom line: Governments suffer - and even collapse entirely - when they
attempt commercial solutions to guardian problems. Likewise, businesses
suffer when they attempt to operate like a government.*

While that probably seems like a sensible conclusion, ther would be a long
line of competent successors wanting to earn the $1,000,000,00 salary.
the problem with the current situation is that, #1 the government is
trying to cast blame for a policy that it is ultimately responsible for
instituting. #2 The NO ONE is worth or works enough hours to rationalize a
salary or bonus equal to the ones that have been paid. There are plenty of
smart people capable of choosing A, B or C. The problem with those people
that make extraordinary salaries is that those people make a policy change
that makes billions but on a spread sheet those billions are really a very
small percentage of what should be being make.


In the instant case, the AIG people who DON'T get their bonuses will soon
say "Screw this, I'm outta here," and they'll go to work for a less
governmental-minded enterprise.

Good , good riddance. AIG does not need exec's that get paid millions to
loose billions.

Their places will be filled by bureacrats
who know which rubber-stamp to use.

Not likely at all, they will probably be replaced by some one from a long
line of people that are just as capable if not more of doing the job.
