ballin' bankers bonus plan

OK, I get the bankers are C.R.E.A.M. types who need to get paid.

FYI, C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me).

This season appears to be the one where everyone gives back bonus money. AIG, ING, who is next?

Regardless, I sympathize with the plight of the people, I'm the first guy to sharpen the pitchforks and fire up the torches in a fit of populist rage at the thought of my tax dollars going to pay bonuses in CASH.

But if these douchebags are so important that they have to be retained, why not incentivize them with restricted stock, rather than bailout cash?
