The House is trying to pretend they're presenting solutions while truly being the cause of the problem. The problem isn't bonuses but govt bailouts. AIG is too big to bailout. They should have been allowed to fail. Though size doesn't really matter. Failure should not be rewarded, nor should productive and prudent people be forced to pay to keep others from reaping the consequences of their own failure. Typical govt ineptness.
