Posh seminars from bail out companies?

[toile]

Does anyone else get bugged by all these "bail out companies" continuing to have such posh seminars? One was last week.

I realize they have always done this but seems like times need to change?
It's just not proper anymore, in my opinion...

It makes me mad enough to spit nails. I don't care that the retreats were planned and paid for before the bailout (or that was what I read about the last "retreat" that AIG sent it's executives on) and that they would not get the money back. It was completely irresponsible of them to be enjoying a high dollar retreat as a reward when they were so irresponsible and corrupt that the government ( I MEAN THE TAXPAYERS ) had to bail their sorry butts out. Now they want even more money, that makes me even madder. The executives of that company should not be rewarded for the mess that they have made. It would have been better for them to have cancelled the retreats and sat in a board room trying to figure a way out of this mess.

It makes me mad too! I think heads should roll when these sorts of "extras" are allowed. Many taxpayers are worried about keeping their jobs & paying their bills on time. Yet, we are required to bail out these companies that have made very bad decisions & allow them to go continue spending however they want. It's a hard pill to swallow.
