Bonuses for Bankers, Bills for the Rest of Us
Politicians love to lecture the rest of us about making sacrifices while bankers are out there cashing in bonuses big enough to make you question reality.

A fat bonus, of course, for doing such a stellar job of not sinking the system again this year. It’s like rewarding someone for not setting fire to your house after they just got out of rehab for arson. Meanwhile, the rest of us are trying to figure out how to afford rent, but hey, at least the bankers' yachts are looking good.
