==Bonuses==

In March 2009 a firestorm of public protest exploded when it was discovered the U.S. Treasury under Secretary [[Timothy Geithner]] had given out over $160 million in bonuses for work in 2008 to the AIG traders who caused over $60 billion in losses in 2008.  A law to "claw back" the bonuses by special taxes passed the House and is before the Senate.  The House version applies to all bonuses by financial institutions that have received $5 billion or more in federal bailous money, which includes all the larger banks.  The public outrage ended the [[Obama Administration]]'s opportunity to ask Congress for more [[bailout]] billions.
