Facing scrutiny over the AIG bonuses that have gone out to top executives, AIG's CEO told Congress that these bonuses were, " distasteful".

Distasteful huh? Distasteful is the understatement of this recession.

These bonuses are downright criminial. Furthermore, those who are receiving them should both return them to a conglomerate that is currently owned by the taxpayers and quit or be fired.

I am absolutely disgusted. Contracts or not, were the government to not bail them out this past fall, they would have never been able to pay out those bonuses to begin with. AIG was in such dire straits that it required billions of hard-earned tax payer's money, yet, it can afford to pay out bonuses that amount to over a hundred million dollars?

What about those poor Americans who lost their job due to companies, like AIG, who recklessly squandered innocent people's money, only to land us in a recession? I should also add that those who lost their job due to AIG, also worked for companies that did not have the government to bail them out.

We, as Americans, should be infuriated. Despite your party affiliation, something needs to be done.

What are we waiting for?
