The Jebber Family Blog

I'm just a bit ticked right now.  Maybe it's the cup of coffee I  drank at 7:30 this evening that really got me heated, but I have a deeper feeling that this happened to me while watching President Bush speak about "bailing out" these financial institutions.  Again...Not talking politics, BUT! Did I say BUT!  Ok, so 700 BILLION to bail out these companies.  I understand somewhat.  I understand that a small, tiny portion of it is being done so the people of this country don't go into a full blown panic pulling everything out of the stock market and such. But my question.  My big huge burning question is this.  If these institutions are being  given a  "get out of debt" card do their CEO's continue making millions of dollars a year?  Do they really get paid for stealing from hopeful families? I just want to know if there will be a cap put on how much money they get to make if they aren't doing their jobs correctly.  I mean if this were a comic book and the villain (lenders who completely screwed people) were to corrupt the financial and economic status of an ENTIRE country(the most powerful nation  in the world to be exact) so greatly causing wide spread panic and total chaos. The hero would then step in and squash that villain with a WHAM and a BLAM and make sure that this villain would never again be given the authority to hold the fate of a nation in their hands while continuing to    vacation with their families in St. Barts . *No, evil villain, you will vacation this year in the outer banks*  Only in a perfect comic book ending.
